Rattle and hum…
The Severn bridge (1966) linking England and Wales. A beautiful structure and clever in that the deck is an aerofoil section which creates downforce from the Atlantic Westerlies, avoiding the Tacoma narrows issue. The deck was manufactured locally and floated on the river then raised in sections, very impressive stuff.
