A 105ft bridge made fro LEGO may have once seemed like the mad ravings of a childhood enthusiasts aspiring to one day build the real-life infrastructure of tomorrow's world.But for those who have achieved that aspiration, it has become a reality and the record-breaking structure now adorns the headquarters of a group representing those modern-day engineers.The LEGO structure has been built top open a new exhibition celebrating bridge building over the centuries, which has opened in London's Institution of Civil Engineers.
