The River Tyne is formed at Warden Rock near Hexham at the confluence (meeting point) of two rivers, the North Tyne (with its source in Kielder, Northumberland) and the South Tyne (with its source in Alston Moor, Cumbria).
The river flows through Corbridge, divides Newcastle and Gateshead, divides Jarrow and Wallsend and flows between South Shields and Tynemouth before flowing into the North Sea.
The River Tyne is crossed more than 20 times, by a variety of different bridges and tunnels. These include, the New Tyne Tunnel, the High Level Bridge,the Tyne Bridge, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the King Edward VII Bridge, the Constantius Bridge and the Ovingham Bridge.

Have a look large or you will miss the cars
* This is one of the many bridges and tunnels you drive on or through as you drive between the various Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway . Wherever you are the landscapes are breathtaking .
Given the title of this shot I dedicate this to the wonderful actress Sofia Helin who plays the detective Saga Norén in the Scandinavian series “ The Bridge “ . Its the third and final series and I will miss it hugely . Saga has to be one of my favourite TV character , I like it that she finds life so difficult and troubling but when she occasionally smiles it lights the sky .
Not sure if the The Bridge is available in the States if so check it out its wonderfully well written and filmed
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE
a Lofoten islands junction of sorts: islands and fjords where ever you look, sometimes not to far apart of each other, and plenty of bridges and tunnels of course, that is one of the main features of the Norwegian Lofoten islands.
JR Ooito Line (JR大糸線) is a local railway line that connects Itoigawa on the Japan Sea coast and Matsumoto in Nagano prefecture 105km to the south, which is served by JR Chuou Line that leads to Tokyo and Nagoya.
Matsumoto - Oomachi section was easily completed in 1915, Oomachii - Otari section in 1935, and Otari- Itoigawa section finally in 1957. It is laid out on flat alluvial lands along the rivers from Matsumoto to Oomachi, and Oomachi to Hakuba, but the flat land suddenly disappears in Otari village.
This photo was taken in Chikuni community in the southernmost part of Otari. A photo taken at the same location in winter is already uploaded to flickr.
There are numerous railroad bridges and tunnels in Hakuba - Itoigawa section and, according to a website, this section of Ooito Line is like a real Big Thunder Mountain!
Heavy snowfall in winter is another big problem for a single track railway line in red ink.
I had an impression that the bridge was too low. The same concern seems to be shared by the railway company as there are red and yellow marks on a bridge support.
ILchester railroad bridge and tunnel . Still in use as CSX passes through it daily. ILchester was an old mill town near Ellicott City , MD. The mills are all closed now but several of the mill ruins remain.
if you travel along the Lofoten islands you will have the pleasure of crossing plenty of bridges and tunnels, all created when the European Road E10 was built. It is amazing to be able travelling along a chain of islands without the need of ferries (mostly).
JR Ooito Line connects Matsumoto (松本) in the mountainous inland and Itoigawa (糸魚川) on the Japan Sea coast by way of Azumino Valley, Hakuba and Otari villages. It is laid out along the steep Himekawa gorge notorious for heavy snowfall and landslides. The 105 km railway line is installed with 30 railway bridges and 18 tunnels. Many of them are located in Otari village.
The bridge in the photo is in northern Hakuba near the Otari border where the Himekawa starts to carve a deep gorge. People say that Ooito Line is a real Big Thunder Mountain.
Despite huge investments to construct such a large number of bridges and tunnels, the trains is so short.
Umi-hotaru ("sea firefly"), an artificial island in Tokyo Bay. It marks the transition between the bridge and tunnel segments of the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, an expressway that crosses the bay and connects Kanagawa Prefecture and Chiba Prefecture. The construction monument is a 14-metre cutter face that was used to dig the tunnel.

Der 1911 eröffnete St. Pauli-Elbtunnel – in Abgrenzung zum seit 1975 bestehenden Neuen Elbtunnel auch Alter Elbtunnel genannt – unterquert die Norderelbe auf einer Länge von 426,5 Metern und verbindet mit zwei Tunnelröhren die nördliche Hafenkante bei den St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken (Nordeingang) mit der Elbinsel Steinwerder (Südeingang). Er wird als öffentlicher Verkehrsweg sowohl von Fußgängern und Radfahrern sowie eingeschränkt von Kraftfahrzeugen genutzt. Er galt bei seiner Eröffnung als technische Sensation, steht seit 2003 unter Denkmalschutz und wurde am 7. September 2011 von der Bundesingenieurkammer und der Hamburgischen Ingenieurkammer-Bau mit dem Titel Historisches Wahrzeichen der Ingenieurbaukunst in Deutschland ausgezeichnet. (Wikipedia)

Old Elbe Tunnel or St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel (German: Alter Elbtunnel colloquially or St. Pauli Elbtunnel officially) which opened in 1911, is a pedestrian and vehicle tunnel in Hamburg, Germany. The 426 m (1,398 ft) long tunnel was a technical sensation; 24 m (80 ft) beneath the surface, two 6 m (20 ft) diameter tubes connect central Hamburg with the docks and shipyards on the south side of the river Elbe.
Four huge lifts on either side of the tunnel carried pedestrians, carriages and motor vehicles to the bottom. The two tunnels are both still in operation, though due to their limited capacity by today's standards, other bridges and tunnels have been built and taken over most of the traffic. (Wikipedia)

Tadeusz Kosciuszko was a Polish immigrant who fought alongside George Washington in our Revolutionary War. He was known for blowing up bridges and tunnels to thwart the enemy, thus he has several bridges and tunnels named after him. This bridge crosses the Mohawk River near Albany and Saratoga, New York. It was recently renovated and my cousins—the John Wojtowicz trucking company participated in it’s reconstruction.

Gephyrophobia is the anxiety disorder or specific phobia characterised by the fear of bridges and tunnels. As a result, sufferers of gephyrophobia may avoid routes that will take them over bridges or through tunnels. The term gephyrophobia comes from the Greek γέφυρα (gephura), meaning "bridge".
Considering the possibilities for crime in city tunnels and underpasses I suppose the fear is not entirely irrational.

The P6103 travels across Montenegro from the border station Bijelo Polje to the port city of Bar, crossing countless bridges and tunnels, including the highest railway bridge in Europe, the Mala Rijeka Viaduct, which will soon be reached. The 461-031 loaned by Montecargo passes the abandoned Potkrs station with the train made up of three clean carriages.
EN: Underneath Altenahr the Ahr valley is very narrow and winding. The railway line uses bridges and tunnels to take a shortcut. The bridges and tunnels for the second track are used by a cycle path. On the rock we see the ruins of Are castle.

In 2008 approximately 300,000 cars, 63,000 bicycles, and 700,000 pedestrians used the tunnel. The tunnel is opened 24 hours for pedestrians and bicycles; however, as of October 2023, the tunnel is closed to all motor vehicles
Mein arktischer Roadtrip führt mich weiter von Lappland in Richtung der Lofoten. Vom Halti bis nach Å, das ist eine Strecke von knapp 600 km. Obwohl die Straßen massiv ausgebaut werden, spektakuläre Brücken und Tunnels durch Bergmassive und unter Fjorden hindurch, hier oben im Hohen Norden gibt es keine Autobahnen. 80, selten 90 kmh, schneller darf man hier nicht fahren und meistens geht es auch gar nicht. Zu viele Kurven, Ortschaften, Schafe auf der Straße. Also, Zeit lassen ist angesagt ! Es gibt so vieles auf dem Weg gen Südwesten zu entdecken ! Einen lohnenden Zwischenstopp mache ich am Fluss Målselva. Unweit von Bardufoss bildet der Fluss einen Wasserfall, den Målselvfossen. Von April bis Juni wandern hier die Lachse flussaufwärts. Um den Wasserfall zu umgehen, hat man eine teilweise tunnelartige Lachstreppe installiert. An einer Stelle ist sogar ein Fenster eingebaut, durch das man die Fische beobachten kann.
Es ist ein sonniger Morgen, ich bin völlig alleine. Sonnendurchflutete Nebelschwaden steigen aus dem Wasserfall auf. Das Wasser stürzt tosend über die Felsstufen hinab. Plötzlich wird das Donnern von einem noch lauteren Donnern übertönt: keine 200 m schwebt ein Airbus A 320 über mich hinweg. Ich bekomme einen Riesenschreck. Die Erklärung ist einfach: nur knapp 3 km von hier entfernt befindet sich der Regionalflughafen Bardufoss.

My arctic road trip takes me further from Lapland towards the Lofoten. From Halti to Å, that's a distance of almost 600 km. Although the roads are being massively expanded, with spectacular bridges and tunnels through mountain ranges and under fjords, up here in the far north there are no motorways. 80, rarely 90 km/h, you are not allowed to drive any faster here and most of the time it is not possible. Too many bends, villages, sheep on the road. So, take your time! There is so much to discover on the way to the southwest! I make a worthwhile stop at the Målselva river. Not far from Bardufoss, the river forms a waterfall, the Målselvfossen. From April to June, the salmon migrate upstream here. To bypass the waterfall, a partially tunnel-like salmon ladder has been installed. At one point there is even a window through which you can watch the fish.
It is a sunny morning, I am completely alone. Sunlit clouds of mist rise from the waterfall. The water thunders down over the rocky steps. The thunder is suddenly drowned out by an even louder thunder: an Airbus A 320 flies over me, less than 200 m away. I get a huge fright. The explanation is simple: Bardufoss Regional Airport is just 3 km from here.
.
After a few hours of descending from the Halti, I reach the parking lot. Then another 15 km of rough gravel road - the rental car survived it well - and I am back at sea level. The picture shows the Lyngenfjord, which comes from the Arctic Ocean and extends far inland.

West Webster Avenue Bridge is a Bascule bridge over North Branch Chicago River. A Bascule bridge is a moveable bridge with a counterweight that continuously balances a span, or leaf, throughout its upward swing to provide clearance for boat traffic. This one appears to pivot at each end and separate in the middle lifting higher above the river below for boats. It was designed by the City of Chicago and constructed in 1916 by Ketler-Elliott Company of Chicago, Illinois. A full rehabilitation was completed in 1993.
This bridge is a member of the greatest collection of historic bascule bridges on the planet, which is located in the city Chicago and Cook County, Illinois. The fact that Chicago is a city with such a large, record-breaking number of bascule bridges, and most of them considered historic, is something the city should be truly proud of. For the most part, Chicago has been a model for historic bridge preservation, especially with the bridges in the downtown area. They have chosen to maintain, and rehabilitate as needed, their historic bridges for the continuous heavy traffic one might expect in the nation's third largest city. The fact that so many of these bridges remain functional and historically intact as well sends a message to other cities and even rural locations who claim that historic bridges cannot serve the needs of modern day traffic.
Information above was found on the website HistoricBridges.org

As a bit of a bonus, you can see just a bit of the Chicago skyline in the background above the bridge.

BNSF's Denver-Laurel, Mont., freight emerges from a tunnel and enters the Wind River Canyon at Boysen, Wyo. The bridge and tunnel here are the result of a 1940s line relocation for the Boysen Dam, which you can see at right. The Bighorn River is also known as the Wind River for most of its path through Wyoming. This waterway meets the Yellowstone River at Fort Cass in Montana.
The Eugene Hauler crosses Vaughn Road and Noti Creek over a steel/wooden trestle near Vaughn, Oregon. The trestle was built in 1912 when the Southern Pacific built west across the Central Oregon Coast Range to connect a coastal logging railroad it acquired in 1906 with its mainline in Eugene.
The Coos Bay Rail Line operates 134 miles of what used to be the SP Coos Bay Branch between Eugene and Coquille, just south of Coos Bay, which CORP sold to the Port of Coos Bay in 2007. Upon CBRL's startup, the line suffered from deferred maintenance, and to this day the railroad is working to rehabilitate several bridges and tunnels which were crumbling under CORP.
Between Noti and Reedsport, the CBRL cuts directly across the range through some of the densest forests I have ever seen. Unfortunately, only five miles of this stretch see daylight movements as the Eugene Hauler is usually staged in Vaughn. East of Noti, the line descends into the Willamette Valley where the topography flattens out. Perhaps the intermodal project at the Port of Coos Bay will shake things up a bit and we can see daylight freights west of Vaughn one day...

This photograph was taken just after sunrise looking out over the Santa Rosa Sound, the connecting body of water between Pensacola Bay and Choctawhatchee Bay within the Intracoastal Waterway in Florida. Off in the distance is the Navarre Beach Causeway, a concrete stringer bridge over Santa Rosa Sound that was constructed in 1950. It is also called the Navarre Beach Bridge and connects the beach and mainland sides of the Navarre community.

There are actually three bridges seen in this photograph although I was shooting for the two in the foreground. The first (and closest) is the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge, the second (immediately on the other side of the first) is the C&O Railroad Bridge, and the third (seen in the background underneath the first two) is the Brent Spence Bridge. All cross the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio and Kentucky.
The Clay Wade Bailey Bridge is a cantilevered through truss bridge that was built in 1974. The C&O Railroad Bridge (also known as the CO-Ohio River Bridge or the CSX-Ohio River Bridge) is also a cantilevered through truss bridge that was built in 1929. According to Bridgehunter.com, the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge replaced the original C&O railroad/auto bridge that was originally built in 1887. The new 1929 C&O cantilever bridge was built for rail while the original 1887 bridge was converted to automobile traffic. However, the piers of these two bridges did not line up and caused navigation problems for vessels traveling the Ohio River. To solve this problem, the old bridge was demolished in 1970 and the Clay Wade Bailey was completed in 1974 as seen here.
The Brent Spence Bridge in the background is a double-decker continuous cantilevered through truss bridge built in 1963. It has been referred to as the "Car-Strangled Banner Bridge" almost since its construction as traffic has always been more than the bridge could seemingly handle efficiently.

Many years ago, the Pearl River flowed here. The river changed course and a shallow area was created by the deposition of sediments as the river retreated. During periodic low water, seedlings of water-tolerant cypress and tupelo trees gained a foothold. The trees you see today are a result.
Water tupelo and bald cypress trees can live in deep water for long periods. After taking root in the summer when the swamp is dry, the seedlings can stay alive in water deep enough to kill other plants.
The trail, including the bridged pathway seen above, at this location leads through an abandoned river channel. As the channel fills with silt and vegetation, black willow, sycamore, red maple, and other trees will gradually replace the bald cypress and water tupelo. Also if you look closely you may see juvenile alligators sunning themselves on floating logs and other vegetation.
This location is also a trailhead for the Yockanookany Section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. This trailhead is located directly across the paved Parkway from the Cypress Swamp site. Hikers may hike south 14.1 miles to the West Florida Boundary, north 8.9 miles to the Yockanookany Trailhead, or any distance they chose on this out and back trail.

According to Wikipedia bridges and tunnels are NOT buildings. Well, I am going to ignore that and treat this as a building, after all, this is a permanent structure and it does provide shelter to passengers.
The bridge above the platforms at Poplar DLR station was designed by ABK Architects and opened in 1987.

Located atop Lookout Mountain and just 6 miles from downtown Chattanooga, High Falls (which also goes by the name Lover’s Leap) is an artificial waterfall and is arguably the signature attraction of the Rock City Lookout and Gardens on the Georgia side of Lookout Mountain. High Falls is 140 feet in height. The trail to the waterfall is easy to get to and is stroller and wheelchair accessible, making this waterfall enjoyable by all.
Lover’s Leap gets its name from a Cherokee legend of two young lovers, a brave named Sautee and a beautiful maiden named Nacoochee, from two feuding tribes. According to the legend, Sautee was captured by the opposing tribe while with Nacoochee and thrown from the top of Lover’s Leap. Nacoochee, distraught from the loss, immediately jumped to her own death as well.

The John Coffee Memorial Bridge across the Tennessee River offers Natchez Trace visitors an easier crossing than the journey by boat faced by early travelers as described above. The bridge is named for General John Coffee, who fought in the Creek War of 1813-14. After opening to traffic in 1964, the nearly 1-mile-long bridge continues to provide access for park visitors and local communities across Alabama and allows passage of river barge traffic.

The photograph above was taken during landing at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Louisiana and is looking almost due north across Highway 10 (which is totally a bridge in this stretch of roadway), at a very large area of wetland, and at Lake Pontchartrain (at the top of the photo along the horizon). A part of the wetland seen here is Wetland Watchers Park which includes nearly a mile of boardwalk nature trails, two outdoor classrooms, a ten-foot marsh overlook, at least five learning pad areas, and benches to rest on along the trails. The line running adjacent to Highway 10 (just south or below the roadway) is an old railroad line that I believe is still in use along with Lower Guide Levee Road. All of this area is an amazing example of the water-saturated coastal and swamp regions of southern Louisiana, often referred to as the 'Bayou'.
To make this photograph even better, we landed just as the sun was beginning to set creating beautiful color for this scene.

A bridge and tunnel built for a railroad in the 1890's to connect a brick factory in Layton to Perryopolis and beyond. It's most recent claim to fame was having a bit part in "Silence of the Lambs" portraying a tunnel in West Virginia.
We're on the now coal mainline of the ex Virginian Railway's Guyandotte River Branch, at Cub Creek Jct outside of Justice, WV. The Guyandotte River Branch handles all tidewater coal traffic to the mainline at Wharncliffe after the infamous "hill runs" via Princeton and Kellysville were discontinued a handful of years ago.
At Cub Creek Jct is where the aptly named Cub Creek Branch rejoins the Guyandotte Mainline. It runs 7.5 miles to my backside to serve the Coal Mountain loadout. Mine run U88 is in the distance taking a loaded coal train from the Gary 50 loadout on the Pinnacle Branch at Pineville to Gilbert Yard where they will tie up and taxi back to Elmore to complete their day. After taking the signal at the junction, they will dive into Tunnel No.3 before exiting and immeadiately crossing overtop of WV Route 97. It’s a railroad full of many deep cuts, interesting junctions, bridges and tunnels that is so scarcely documented.

Even under the cover of darkness, the journey through British Columbia's Thompson River canyon aboard VIA Rail's "Canadian" is an awe-inspiring one as the train traverses countless curves, bridges, and tunnels. Here, Vancouver-bound train no. 1 is seen knocking down a clear signal as it glides through the night near Ashcroft, BC. It is now well into the wee hours of the evening, I am the last one in the dome car and I have not a care in the world.
