This old bridge was finally retired from traffic and now it has feet traffic crossing at Fort Gibson Oklahoma, spans the Neosho River or the old alt name Grand River. Not sure if when this was build if two cars could meet but I know if one as on the bridge you had to sit and wait for it to cross before taking your turn.
The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of Edinburgh City Centre. It is considered an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland (having been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder in 2016), and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. It is sometimes referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge to distinguish it from the Forth Road Bridge, though this has never been its official name.
Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay, the future Edward VII. The bridge spans the Forth between the villages of South Queensferry and North Queensferry and has a total length of 8,094 feet (2,467 m). When it opened it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world, until 1919 when the Quebec Bridge in Canada was completed. It continues to be the world's second-longest single cantilever span, with a span of 1,709 feet (521 m).

The quaint bridge in Portland, Michigan passes over the Grand River. Portland is known as the city of two rivers; they are the Looking Glass River and the Grand River. This bridge is one of the largest (as a two-span example) and most complete examples of a rather ornate bridge plan/design that Groton Bridge and Manufacturing Company of Groton, NY built that remain today. As such it is significant on a national level as a key example of the work of an important bridge company. The bridge has been listed as a Michigan Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
This bridge is a two-span pin connected Pratt through truss.

The Story Bridge in red for Anzac day this morning at 5:30 AM.
I like to dedicate this photo to all the Service men and women of Australia and New Zealand who fought for our freedom in all theatres of war, around the world.
For those of you who don't know, "Anzac Zay" is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served" observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally devised to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps(ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn Islands, and Tonga, and previously was a national holiday in Papua New Guinea and Samoa.

It was built by Walter Skirlaw, Bishop of Durham in 1400.
In 1803 the stone bridge was replaced by a new iron one. This new bridge collapsed soon after it was built on the 12th January 1806.

At 737m, the Haast River Bridge is the longest one-lane road bridge in New Zealand, and the 7th longest New Zealand bridge overall.
The Haast River drains the western watershed of the Haast Pass. It is 100 kilometres in length, and enters the Tasman Sea near Haast township. The river's main tributary is the Landsborough River.
The grassy flats on the lower reaches are grazed by cattle by the local farmers. Tourism operators offer jetboat tours on the river.
The river often has glacial silt in suspension in the water from glaciers in the Southern Alps. The majority of the surrounding land is publicly owned and administered by the Department of Conservation. It is set within the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site.
State Highway 6 follows virtually the complete length of the river, with this bridge near the coast, just after the turnoff to the Haast township. (Wikipedia)
Owachomo Bridge is the longest natural arch in the United States. It spans 180 feet and is 106 feet high. The bridge above our heads is 27 feet wide and 9 feet thick. It was formed primarily by water erosion, by a stream that carved a path through thin sandstone walls, creating the bridge. Wind, rain, the freeze/thaw cycle also contributed.
