Construction workers work on a new pedestrian and cycling bridge in Devinska Nova Ves near capital Bratislava February 29, 2012. Slovaks have been voting overwhelmingly in favour of naming a new pedestrian and cycling bridge near their capital after 1980s U.S. action film and TV star Chuck Norris. The two other top names in the running for the bridge, which will span the Morava river and cross the border to Austria, were Maria Theresa, after an Austro-Hungarian empress, and the Devinska cycling bridge, in honour of the closest village. The voting will run until April. As of Thursday, 1,157 votes have backed Norris, 74 percent of the total, leaving the runner up 'Maria Theresa Bridge' far behind with 8 percent.
