Yamabiko-bashi (山彦橋) reaches across the Doro Gorge (瀞峡) from Nara to Mie. Constructed in 1984, the suspension bridge is 25m high and 83m long.
Astonishingly it was damaged in 2011 by Tropical Storm Talas (紀伊半島大水害), the river waters rising above the bridge!

Brian Rhinehart who does Record Retrieval & Research at the US National Archives just sent out:
"I don't work for the National Archives, so I don't like to speak on their behalf, but I’ve been at the National Archives in Washington DC all week, and have heard directly from supervisors here ...
"The announcement (that was very poorly worded) was about their parking policy. Some of the parking in College Park, Maryland is no longer accessible to the general public."
@BRMiller I emailed #NARA when I saw this being discussed on Mastodon, and received this reply:
"Thank you for your inquiry. New processes announced Monday, June 23, with regard to security enhancements at College Park, MD contained many inaccuracies. Though they had not taken effect, these new processes are now rescinded. For more information, please see https://x.com/JimByron_NARA/status/1937903345295085616
Thank you,
National Archives and Records Administration"
Claire Kluskens, a former employee at the US National Archives (Subject Matter Expert for Genealogy/Census Records), has also posted about this "misunderstanding"
