This bridge is on Commissioners Street between Don Roadway and Munition Street, across the new river valley. We designed this bridge to accommodate the higher, faster waters expected to flow beneath it during a major storm. The sidewalk also features some wider areas meant to provide a lookout over the new river valley.
The First Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge is a bridge over the Mekong, connecting Nong Khai Province and the city of Nong Khai in Thailand with Vientiane Prefecture in Laos. The Lao capital city Vientiane is approximately 20 km (12 mi) from the bridge.
The Erskine Bridge is a multi span cable-stayed box girder bridge spanning the River Clyde in west central Scotland.
The bridge connects West Dunbartonshire with Renfrewshire and can be used by all types of motor vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
As well as crossing the Clyde, the bridge also crosses the Forth and Clyde Canal and the North Clyde railway line. A small part of Kilpatrick railway station is situated underneath the bridge at the north side. The bridge is part of the A898 road. On completion the bridge replaced the Erskine to Old Kilpatrick ferry service.

Pakenham Five Arch Stone bridge
“One of the most interesting structures in Pakenham is the Five Arch Stone Bridge. In 1901, the engineering firm of O’Toole and Keating built the only five arch stone bridge of its kind in all of North America. The bridge was built for the princely sum of $14,500. At the time, the bridge was built 268 feet in length, 25 feet width and 22 feet high. Each of the five arches are 40 feet wide and the piers are each 8 feet thick! The largest stone in the bridge is 9 feet long and 2-1/2 feet square, and weighs over 5 tons.”
Note: Despite this source’s information, I have read that there is in fact another five arch stone bridge in North America - the second is in Avon, NY, and was allegedly built for and used as a rail bridge.

Barton Swing Aqueduct, Barton-upon-Irwell
I've posted a full history and tech write-up on a previous upload, but was never really happy with the actual image on account of both bridges opening, which I've never seen before in my life and I got all a bit excited.
Anyway, for those that missed that pleasure, here's a very brief summary...
The Barton Swing Aqueduct is a moveable navigable aqueduct in Barton-upon-Irwell, Greater Manchester, England. It carries the Bridgewater Canal across the Manchester Ship Canal. The swinging action allows large vessels using the ship canal to pass underneath and smaller craft, both narrowboats and broad-beam barges to cross over the top. The aqueduct, the first and only swing aqueduct in the world, is a Grade II* listed building, and considered a major feat of Victorian civil engineering. Designed by Sir Edward Leader Williams and built by Andrew Handyside and Company of Derby, the swing bridge opened in 1894 and remains in regular use.
Designed by Robert Stephenson and opened by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on 29 August 1850, the Royal Border Bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick of Tweed and Tweedmouth.

Sculpture of a Hand carved from limestone by Artist - Anthony Lysycia.
Located at the head of the aqeduct's towpath near Trevor Basin.
The sculpture was created to represent the many labourers who toiled to build the aqeduct and the Llangollen canal, with the design depicting local industry and the effort of the workers.
It was installed as part of the aqeduct's history.
