And what I really meant was...periodically spaced jet engines along the
bridge and on both sides of the bridge.

Sure you didn't mean appropriately oriented, independently acting,
reaction force application devices of any kind positioned
symmetrically, or asymmetrically, in such a manner as to compensate
for naturally occurring, or man made, steady and/or variable
structurally destructive loads?

No that's...regularly spaced but likely asymmetrically spaced jet engines
along the bridge and on both sides of the bridge.

Andy comments:
Wouldn't you save a lot of money by having just one BIG jet engine
in the middle, and cables connecting it wo assmmetrically spaced
contact points along the bridge....
It could be refueled by a dirrigible.....

If the engine fails, down comes the bridge.

Whynot use a pipeline runnig from the shores to the engines? And where
would the fuel for these engines come from? The bin Laden family or
Mohammed Atta's survivors?
