There were some basic walls around the pylons but I mean is it even possible to build anything strong enough to stop something that big?

the bridge was built in 1977, the largest container ships at the time were around 75% the size of the Deli

I found a neat live stream of them working on the bridge. It's the same one that caught the initial impact:

only sort of related, but I've always liked that Wilhelmsen livery on their vehicle carriers, much better than their older ones
