1904 railroad bridge over the Ohio River at Mingo Junction between Jefferson County, Ohio and Brooke County, WV
The bridge was built in 1904 by the American Bridge Company.
Sail Bridge links the new SA1 Swansea Waterfront development with the existing Maritime Quarter. It won the 2003 Lord Mayor's Design Award for schemes with a project cost over £500,000. The bridge measures 142 metres long, weighs a total of 292 tonnes and features a vast 40 metre high mast.
Bawden Bridge (named after Thomas Bawden the Parliamentary Member) over the Orara River on the Old Grafton Road. Built in 1874 one of 6 of the oldest lattice truss designs in NSW, it has a two-span continuous lattice truss, 77m long with timber beam approaches spanning a deep narrow gorge. It is supported on 3 wrought iron plate piers.
The Tyne Bridge is a through arch bridge over the River Tyne in North East England, linking Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. It was designed by the engineering firm Mott, Hay and Anderson, who later designed the Forth Road Bridge, and was built by Dorman Long and Co. of Middlesbrough. The bridge was officially opened on 10 October 1928 by King George V and has since become a defining symbol of Tyneside. It is ranked as the tenth tallest structure in the city.Newcastle Canvas,Newcastle Prints,Newcastle Cityscape.
The Rendsburg High Bridge (German: Rendsburger Hochbrücke) is a 2,486 metres (8,156 ft) long steel railway (Box girder bridge) crossing the Kiel Canal in Rendsburg. The bridge was erected in the years 1911 to 1913 after a design by Friedrich Voss.
It is the longest railway bridge in Europe: on the northern side, the bridge connects to the Rendsburg Loop to gain height and to allow trains to continue to serve the Rendsburg station.
Hanging under the bridge is a socalled hanging ferry (Schwebefähre).
The Millennium Bridge (Irish: Droichead na Mílaoise) is a pedestrian bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, joining Eustace Street in Temple Bar to the north quays.
Installed in December 1999, to commemorate the new millennium (2000), the span was actually constructed 80 km from Dublin - in Carlow - as a portal frame structure made up of a slender steel truss and resting on reinforced concrete haunches.
The bridge was designed by Howley Harrington Architects with Price & Myers as Consulting Engineers. The concrete base and steel structure for the bridge were provided by two Carlow firms: Formwork 2000+ and Thompson Engineering respectively.
The Millennium Bridge is neighbour to the much older (and well known) pedestrian Ha'penny Bridge to the east, and Grattan Bridge to the west.

The Park Bridge, also known as Pedestrian Bridge (Peshehodniy Most) over Dnipro river (Kiev, Ukraine). As you can figure from the name it was designed only for people. The bridge is the only way from right bank of Dnipro to the Hydropark — the park situated on the Truhanov island. Until 1957, when the Pedestrian bridge was built, the only way to reach the island was by boat in the summer or by crossing the ice in the winter.
The construction of this suspension bridge allows you to walk on the top of it. There is a small utility path there. And there are always some headless kamikazes trying to get there despite all grates that were installed :) The local police is aware of this possibility too, so they usually prepare very hot greetings for those who managed to get on top.
There usually many people strolling there in summer, but this winter weekend was not the best time for a walk and we saw only few unhappy tourists. But what is bad for strollers is nice for elaborate photographer ;) I went there only because the weather was so gray :) It's a nice time for black'n'white shots!
The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge, which opened on 8 December 1864, spanning the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset, England. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge is a grade I listed building and forms part of the B3129 road.
The idea of building a bridge across the Avon Gorge originated in 1753. Original plans were for a stone bridge, and later iterations were for a wrought iron structure. In 1831, an attempt to build Brunel's design was stopped by the Bristol riots, and the revised version of his designs was built after his death and completed in 1864. Although similar in size, the bridge towers are not identical in design, the Clifton tower having side cut-outs, the Leigh tower more pointed arches atop a 110-foot (34 m) red sandstone-clad abutment. Roller-mounted "saddles" at the top of each tower allow movement of the three independent wrought iron chains on each side when loads pass over the bridge. The bridge deck is suspended by 81 matching vertical wrought-iron rods.
Two men were killed during the bridge's construction; since opening it has gained a reputation as a suicide bridge. It has plaques that advertise the telephone number of The Samaritans and above the railings on the bridge there are anti-climb barriers. The Clifton Bridge Company initially managed the bridge under licence from a charitable trust. The trust subsequently purchased the company shares, completing this in 1949 and took over the running of the bridge using the income from tolls to pay for maintenance. The bridge is a distinctive landmark, used as a symbol of Bristol on postcards, promotional materials, and informational web sites. It was also used as a backdrop to several films and television advertising and programmes. It has also been the venue for significant cultural events such as the first modern bungee jump in 1979, the last ever Concorde flight in 2003 and a handover of the Olympic Torch relay in 2012.
Iowa Interstate's BICB-07 detouring over BNSF's Crescent Bridge pauses at the Davenport, IA side of the bridge to throw the wye switch to line their move towards CP's West Davenport yard. The two ex-ROCK blue hoppers up front were a nice touch!

Motoring in a sailboat up the inlet towards Skradin, Croatia you pass under the Krka Bridge.
My wife Karalee and I spent two years living on a sailboat in the Mediterranean home schooling our three children Jocelyn, Kevin, and Allen. This photo was part of that adventure. You can learn more about it at www.davidgreer.ca/cruise/.
1911 two span Pratt Through truss over the Flat Rock river in Bartholomew County, IN. This bridge was built by the Elkhart Bridge & Iron Co.
One of two rail bridges over the Tennessee River in Knoxville. The Henley and Gay Street bridges, which carry traffic, can be seen in the background.
Kingston-Upon-Hull, East Yorkshire, is a very old city (you'll know this if you've ever lived there or have ever driven in it).
The river Hull cuts right through the city, thus there are a dozen bridges throughout the city. The mechanical engineering, although several decades old, is quite fascinating.

Bridge across the Colorado River in Columbus, Texas (Highway 90).
Funny story about taking this picture. While trying to take this shot, I had to deal with both a light rain and some traffic. In between taking shots, I was hiding my camera from the rain under my unzipped jacket. A car approached from the far side and came to a quick stop as soon as he saw me. The strange thing was that he pointed his car at me in a defensive position. It took a moment before I realized that he thought the bulge beneath my jacket was a gun. I immediately pulled my camera out and waved it to show him. A grudging smile came across his face and he continued on.
Tuesday 01 November 2011 - Day 11 - Trek Phakding (2,640m / 8,661ft) to Namche Bazaar (नाम्चे बजार, 3,440m/11,286ft)
Cloudy skies accompanied us up the trail from Phakding (2,640m / 8,661ft) to Monjo and into the Sagarmāthā National Park at Jorsale where our permits were checked and we took a quick look at the model of the mountains within the park's perimeters and the geological information displays. Then downhill for our first suspension bridge crossing of the Dudh Koshi, together with lots of other trekking groups - the route had become significantly busier with larger groups since passing Lukla.
After a stretch on the west side of the river, we crossed back again and climbed up to the high suspension bridge at the junction of the Bhote Koshi / भोटे कोशी and the Dudh Koshi / दुध कोसी. Then more sandy underfoot uphill to the (clouded over) mountain viewpoint at Top Danda, where our paths crossed with a MK group on their descent and changing out of wet weather gear which wasn't a good sign.... before a final slog up into Namche Bazaar / नाम्चे बजार (3,440m/11,286ft) - feeling the altitude.
It felt like our lodge - the Himalayan Culture House - was about as far from the main path into town as it was possible to get, but the en suite was more than enough recompense, even if there was no hot water, and Daa Waa sorted us out a speedy lunch with fiery pickles. The afternoon saw the cloud thicken and descend even further, and we pottered around Namche central spotting many a familiar face - mainly looking glum at the inclement weather... cold and grey; no sign of the stunning mountain vistas depicted on all the postcards. No sign of roof tops at some points in the afternoon!
Dinner back at the lodge, where we shared the dining room with a large party of French trekkers and a taciturn solo German chap, and an update from Daa Waa that the rest of the group had helicoptered into Surke and would be arriving in Namche tomorrow. Cue: discussion of what our fellow trekkers would turn out to be like (we needn't have worried.....).
