A few days ago I saw this bridge in Wuppertal.

What a difference a little color can make: From gray concrete bridges to gray streets, to a spectacular sight that probably only exists here: In Wuppertal.
In 2011, street artist Martin Heuwold set to work painting the underside of an old railroad bridge over the sister street in color from below. The result: from below, the bridge looks as if it were built of Lego bricks - deceptively real from a certain perspective.

The attraction was born. Since then, many excursionists and thousands of motorists every day have enjoyed the playful colors under the bridge, on which the wonderful Nordbahn bicycle route now runs through the city.
And because Wuppertal could use a little more color, the artist created a second Lego bridge in 2020. The pictures of his two colorful bridges went around the world on Instagram and in various media.

Like any other grey and concrete bridges it looks ugly and is not a highlight a all. The work from Martin Heuwold changed the atmosphere
