Temporary strap has the strength of original rod

A crack was found in one of the links holding up the Clifton Suspension Bridge about a week ago. Last Sunday a Heath-Robinson contraption had been set up around the cracked link and today I noticed that the link had been replaced. As you can see from the photo, the new link does not match the old ones. I am very relieved to discover that this is a temporary fixwhile a matching replacement is being designed and made.
