Engineering Brilliance

My second entry in this months competition on Bridges.

Had a few days away in Bristol so couldn't really visit without seeing and taking an image of the magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge.

It spans the river Avon and has a remarkable history which is well worth reading about.

The original design was of Isambard Kingdom Brunel .

Spanning over 702 ft and 249ft above the Avon it had the longest span of any bridge in the world at the time of its construction.

 

Thank you for viewing and any comments
