Bridges (Travessia) by Milton Nascimento
I have crossed a thousand bridges
In my search for something real
There were great suspension bridges
Made of spiderwebs of steel
There were tiny wooden trestles
And there were bridges made of stone
I have always been a stranger
And I've always been alone
There's a bridge to tomorrow
There's a bridge from the past
There's a bridge made of sorrow
That I pray would not last
There's a bridge made of colors
In the sky high above
And I'm certain there must be
Bridges made out of love
I can see him in a distance
On the rivers of the shore
And his hands reach out in longing
As my own have done before
And I call across to tell him
Where I believe the bridge must lie
And I'll find it, yes I'll find it
If I search until I die
When the bridge is between us
We'll have nothing to fear
We will run through the sunlight
And you'll meet me halfway
There's a bridge made of colors
In the sky high above
And I'm certain there must be
Bridges made out of love
La, la, la...

Other Notes: Gilkey Station was established when the railroad arrived in 1880 and was named in honor of Allen and William Gilkey.
The North East of England is known as the birthplace of the railways.
This new form of transport led to an explosion in the construction of magnificent bridges and viaducts in the 19th Century.
One of the best examples is the Royal Border Bridge in Berwick Upon Tweed.
Built by railway pioneer Robert Stephenson and opened by Queen Victoria, the bridge strides gracefully across the River Tweed.
This grade one listed viaduct with 28 arches was completed in 1850, and is still in regular use today as part of the main Newcastle-Edinburgh East Coast Main Line.
The Deer Isle Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning Eggemoggin Reach in the state of Maine. The bridge is the only vehicular connection from the Maine mainland to Little Deer Isle, one of the segments that make up the island. The span was completed in March 1939 with a main span of 1,088 feet (332 m). The bridge was designed by Holton Duncan Robinson and David Bernard Steinman. It encountered wind stability problems that were similar to those of the Whitestone Bridge and the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which collapsed shortly after it opened. The problems led to modifications which included numerous cable stays connecting cables to the tower and tower to the deck. The span today carries two narrow lanes of State Route 15.
The Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge, named for the two townships it connects, was the first bridge built between Deer Isle and the mainland, replacing an inadequate ferry crossing system and effectively opening the island to tourism opportunities. It is notable for the innovation of its designers and contractors in creating a durable, long-span, high-level structure across a navigable arm of the Atlantic at minimal cost. Unprecedented use of prefabricated and previously used materials simplified construction and minimized costs, and much of the outdoor work was completed under poor weather conditions.

Ponte Vella (Galician, "old bridge", Ponte Romana (Roman bridge), Ponte Maior (high bridge)) is a medieval footbridge built on Roman foundations in Ourense, Spain. It spans the Minho River.
The original bridge across the Minho River was built during the first century rule of Emperor Augustus though other sources state that it was built during the Trajan period. A mention is made of this bridge in the will of Doña Urraca, where it is said that it was repaired with funds provided by Ferdinand III. From the Middle Ages, it has provided access to the city of Ourense for trade and pilgrimage.
Ponte Vella (gallego, "puente viejo", Ponte Romana (puente romano), Ponte Maior) es una pasarela medieval construida sobre cimientos romanos en Ourense, España. Se extiende por el río Minho.
El puente original que cruza el río Minho se construyó durante el primer siglo del emperador Augusto, aunque otras fuentes afirman que se construyó durante el período Trajano. Se hace mención de este puente en la voluntad de Doña Urraca, donde se dice que fue reparado con fondos proporcionados por Fernando III. Desde la Edad Media, ha proporcionado acceso a la ciudad de Ourense para el comercio y la peregrinación.
Minto Bridge
“Minto Bridge was built in 1900, spanning the Rideau River, across Green Island and Maple Island to the shores of the Rideau. There are actually three separate truss bridges and they are sometimes referred to as the Minto Bridges. The western bridge (a single span), connects the west bank to Green Island and the eastern bridge connects Maple Island to the east bank (another single span). The central bridge is a double span and it connects the two islands. All of the four spans are similar in construction and are all approximately the same length (25-35 meters).” [1] Kim Elliot (May 2016), Bridges of Ottawa. Link below.
‘Minto Bridge is named after the fourth earl of Minto who was the eighth governor general of Canada. The bridge has held this name since it was constructed, and it appears on the plaques for this bridge. Interestingly, Lord and Lady Minto were interested in heritage and were involved with the creation of the National Archives of Canada and Lady Minto was involved with the Women's Canadian Historical Society of Ottawa in its first years. Although a new and modern bridge when first built and named after Lord and Lady Minto, today, the Minto Bridge has aged and become a rare and significant heritage bridge, making it an excellent and appropriate memorial to two people who were interested in Canada's heritage.”[2] HistoricBridges.org (April 2011).
