Grafton Bridge is the logical and most direct access route between the
central city and the main city hospital and is immediately adjacent to
the hospital and is visually obvious. . The hospital has a psychiatric
ward. The bridge is liable to be a major attraction to certain groups
of unfortunate people. The motorway which runs underneath it would
provide an equally effective source of death for those liable to be
thinking rationally enough to not want to kill themselves.
