Emlenton Bridge I-80, Pennsylvania
272 feet, 82m above the Allegheny River. Second highest bridge on the Interstate Highway System. It spans three counties in western PA. Opened in 1968.
The Twin sails bridge is a double leaved bascule bridge in Poole Dorset. Construction finished in 2012 after a few technical issues and serves a second bridge access to Hamworthy from Poole.
Finally explored this place a bit recently. CTA L trains pass over the bridge, and Metra trains go past this station (but weren't running the day we saw this)
Vasco da Gama bridge, Lisbon, Portugal
"Vou deixar a vida me levar
Pra onde ela quiser,
Seguir a direção,
De uma estrela qualquer."
Deus me surpreende todos os dias e em cada amanhecer brilha o sol da sua luz que clareia meus pensamentos e me dá motivos pra recomeçar outra vez ...
Sem pesos nos ombros, sem mágoas no coração, sem ressentimentos, sem pressa de
Viver.
Seguindo a direção...
Lá vamos nós!... ... ...
(poema de Vania Dramis Pimenta)
* A familiar subject for me, its another image of the Humber Bridge taken from the South Bank of the River. The city of hull is on the North bank and can just be seen on the right of the image
I love to photograph the Humber Bridge which is two miles outside of Hull. Built in 1981 it is an architectural masterpiece With a centre span of 4,626 ft and a total length of 7,283 ft or 1.3 miles the Humber Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world for 17 years, until Japan's Akashi Kaikyō Bridge opened on 5 April 1998. Each tower consists of a pair of hollow vertical concrete columns, each 510 ft tall and tapering from20 ft square at the base to 14.8 ft at the top. The bridge is designed to tolerate constant motion and bends more than 10 ft in winds of 80 mph . The towers, although both vertical, are 1.4 inches farther apart at the top than the bottom due to the curvature of the earth.

The Orwell Bridge carries the A14 over the river Orwell, Suffolk, UK. It has a rather graceful curve which isn't apparent when you drive over it.
60mph speed limit strictly enforced!

I couldn't resist the opportunity to get out of the house with a friend last night. We went for a sunset shot but that didn't work out. Glad we stuck around though, I wasn't expecting these super reflections from the lights on the Severn Bridge.
I've lived in the Bay Area for almost 40 years and never took a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge before last night. This was shot in the "Blue Hour" about 35 minutes after sunset.

Gateshead camera club had an end of season meeting on the quayside last night. This is one of my favourite pics from the night. I've added an sfx filter for good effect.
Along the tracks to Barmouth .
Possibly a view that could be under threat as the Barmouth bridge is under threat of closure to the public , Making the crossing at this point a thing of the past :-/

The old new Alexandra Bridge. The original was built in 1861 and damaged by high water in 1894. Thirty years later in 1926 as the automobile became popular, the Provincial Government decided to build a new bridge on the same site as the original one. It was closed in 1964 as a new bridge was built 2 kilometres (1.25m) south of here. In 1984 the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park was established to protect the area's historical values.
From Wiki:
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. Because of this, Tower Bridge is sometimes confused with London Bridge, situated some 0.5 mi (0.80 km) upstream. Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust's bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark bank, as its northern landfall is in Tower Hamlets.
The bridge consists of two bridge towers tied together at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal tension forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical components of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Before its restoration in the 2010s, the bridge's colour scheme dated from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. Its colours were subsequently restored to blue and white.
The bridge deck is freely accessible to both vehicles and pedestrians, whereas the bridge's twin towers, high-level walkways and Victorian engine rooms form part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition, for which an admission charge is made. The nearest London Underground tube stations are Tower Hill on the Circle and District lines, London Bridge on the Jubilee and Northern lines and Bermondsey on the Jubilee line, and the nearest Docklands Light Railway station is Tower Gateway. The nearest National Rail stations are at Fenchurch Street and London Bridge.

The SNP Bridge over the Danube
Most SNP is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with a main span length of 303 m (994 ft), a total length of 430.8 m (1,413 ft), a width of 21 m (69 ft), and a weight of 537 t (592 short tons). Its steel construction is suspended from steel cables, connected on the Petržalka side to two pillars. There are four lanes for motor traffic on the upper level and bicycle and pedestrian lanes on the lower level. It is a member of The World Federation of Great Towers
The bridge was built between 1967 and 1972 under a project managed by A. Tesár, J. Lacko, and I. Slameň. It officially opened on August 26, 1972. A significant section of the Old Town below which included nearly all of the Jewish quarter, was demolished to create the roadway that led to it. On the other hand, the bridge improved access between Petržalka and the rest of the city. Parts of the historic city walls were unearthed during construction.
The SNP bridge was the central motif of Jean Michel Jarre's "Bridge from the Future" concert, which he performed on May 12, 2024
