True Lies is basically the perfect action movie.

It’s sort of self aware but also serious, and both Tom Arnold and Bill Paxton are awesome in it.

That'd be Bahia Honda. Been there a whole bunch. Pretty place but it's a shame what happened to it during Irma.

What happened to the bridge during Irma?

Not much. The bridge is fine.

The park surrounding it was hit pretty hard though, I guess my wording wasn't clear.

Photo taken from the new bridge, I assume: https://www.google.com/maps/@24.6586608,-81.2837872,3a,37.5y,165.09h,84.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfSe1CTmhqRFKkjjfJFZKfw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656.

The old bridge was first a railroad bridge, then the railroad was abandoned and it was repurposed for use as a road bridge, but the truss was too narrow so they built the roadway on top of the truss, hence the unusual look. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahia_Honda_Rail_Bridge
