One of these bridges is not like the other… ’cause it is an aqueduct.
September 27th, 2007 at 7:12 am
Wow great collection
September 27th, 2007 at 9:13 am
I would love to see captions on these fabulous photos showing where they are located.
Great pictures!
September 27th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
well, this is worldwide correct? You have not seen a gorgeous bridge, UNLESS you have seen O’Connell Bridge, In Sitka Alaska.
None Of These Bridges has enough charisma to say they have more than Sitka’s Bridge
September 27th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
number 2 isn’t a bridge but a aquaduct

Hi,
Thanks for posting these great photos.
They are not only about great works of construction/art, but are also well taken.
Kind regards,

Although many of these bridges are amazing, about 1/3 of them are not, but only the camera angle that they are taken from give the illusion of amazingness. If taken from a plain bird’s eye view or horizontal view, many of these bridges would lose the illusion of amazingness that they have in those angles.
September 27th, 2007 at 3:54 pm
very nice.
I can see two of them from my apartment (I think)… at least 1 of them for sure.

Number three looks like an Aquaduct to me. Not a bridge.
September 27th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
1- Would have been much more useful with captions.
2- Third one down is an aqueduct, not a bridge.
3- What is really amazing is that this does not include the huge Millau in France or one of the 2 bridges in Istanbul that connect Europe to Asia, just to name a couple…
September 27th, 2007 at 4:41 pm

Number 10 down is Seddon bridge from the South Island of New Zealand.
I drove over it the other day coming back from a road trip, and it’s being replaced by a two lane bridge as it’s on the main road through New Zealand and causes major traffic congestion.
It’s not actually that impressive in real life, either, apart from the steel supports etc it’s just a rickety crap old bridge. The camera angle makes for a cool photograph however.

September 28th, 2007 at 9:19 am
I agree with Arthur: the bridge at Millau should have been among them and the Pont du Gare is an aquaduct. But it is a bridge as well, check for example wikipedia on that.
I do miss a Dutch bridge among them, like the Erasmusbrug (looks kinda like the fourth one down).

The one in front of a waterfall is from Multnomah Falls near Portland, Oregon. The view is pretty spectacular. The bridge itself, not so much.
September 28th, 2007 at 11:19 am
an aqueduct is a “bridge” : Definition (dictionary.com) 1. a structure spanning and providing passage over a river, chasm, road, or the like.. If you wanna transport water OVER land then you use a water bridge i.e. aqueduct just like a square IS a type of rectangle.
September 28th, 2007 at 1:52 pm
Nice Bridge Photos! Too bad you left out the greatest bridge of all time, the George Washington Bridge. If it were not for the GWB and Othmar Ammann the Swiss Engineer who designed and built the bridge, all other bridges around the world would NOT have been possible. Please check out my website of extensive photographs of New York;s great bridges. Cheers
September 28th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Yes, it’s true - one is an aqueduct, some notables are not there, there are some shown more than once. All trvial remarks - the web is better off with this page than without it - you’ve assembled a collection of bridge pictures that communicate a love of the structure itself beautifully. Nice work!
September 28th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
thanks for these great pictures, bridges are not only something useful, they are a kind of trip for the mind, a leap, a knot, some clue, don’t know, very interesting

The aqueduct is the roman Pont du Gard spanning the Gardon River in southern France (north of Avignon)
I’ve been there for several times - and what can I say? It is marvelous! Until some years ago you could walk right throught the topmost level where the water used to flow in former times.
Have a look: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_du_Gard or at the official site: http://www.pontdugard.fr/
cheers, cebu
September 29th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
The point is the aqueduct is built as a bridge to traverse a gap. In other words, to ‘bridge’ the gap.
September 29th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
The brige in front of the waterfall is the Multnomah Falls in Oregon on the Columbia River at the Gorge. A bridge that is very interesing and beautiful is the Cable Bridge in Tri-Cities, Washington over the Mighty Columbia River.

Glad to see so many views of Brunel’s Clifton suspension bridge, but what about the first iron bridge, built was it not at ‘Ironbridge’ near Telford UK and now only for pedestrians? There is a another beauty in the north west highlands of Scotland, I believe at Unnapool - a piece of sculpture between two mountains and spanning a sea inlet. Great selection though.

October 12th, 2007 at 9:03 am
You missed one. The Big Mac bridge that spans the conjunction of two of the largist fresh water lakes in the world, Lake Michigan and Lake Ontario)that it is 500 feet longer than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransico, should have been included in your pictures.
Maybe because it is approximately 360 miles north of Detroit, Michigan, it is too far away for the average person to routinely visit this bridge. Once a year on Labor Day, they shut down the bridge for a short time, to vehicle traffic and allow only people to walk across. There are usually several thousand people that attend this event. If you want to include an image of this great bridge, I can get you one.

October 17th, 2007 at 3:53 pm
Among these other bridges recommended to add to this list is the Mostar bridge in Mostar, Bosnia. It’s a reconstruction of the centuries old bridge that was destroyed during the war in 1993. It’s a beautiful little bridge across milky waters. The town’s name itself (Mostar) means ‘bridge’.
October 17th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
Fabulous photography and amazing, ingenious bridges. I thought the first one was the Sei-0-Say Pol (33 arch bridge) in Isfahan, Iran at first which is the most fabulous bridge I have ever seen. Thanks for posting these.
October 18th, 2007 at 5:52 am
Great pictures! I am fascinated by several of them, especially the one that has 3 angled suspension arches. Interesting! I agree that our Big Mac should definitely be added, but, as Lincoln said, you will never please all of the people. Thanks for compiling these.

I’m surprised no one has commented on the two pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge (#s 14 & 27).
As another post pointed out, the Mackinac Bridge can be crossed on foot only on Labor Day. However, it is only a morning event and auto traffic is never stopped. This year’s info from their website states:
The two EAST lanes on the bridge are used by walkers until 9:30 a.m. and the two WEST lanes by vehicular traffic. After 9:30 a.m. only one EAST lane is available to walkers. The National Guard and other official personnel will be available in the event of an emergency. Please note, there are NO RESTROOMS ON THE BRIDGE and the average length of time to walk the bridge is about two hours. Portable toilets will be located at both ends of the bridge and at the bus loading area.
November 6th, 2007 at 7:34 am
You forgot the ‘Viaduc de Millau’ in southern France, along the A75 highway. It is the tallest transportation bridge in the world. It’s beautiful and only about 2 years open.
November 6th, 2007 at 10:26 am
If anyone has seen the Pont du Gard, they will tell you as part of the Aqueduct an addition has been made on the other side which is actually a walking bridge to cross the river. Look closely at the picture & notice the smoother texture & extra depth of the back part of the lower arches.
November 6th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
Several people wrote that one of the photos is an aquaduct not a bridge. Actually the structure is called Pont du Gard - The Bridge of the (river) Gard in France. It was both an aquaduct and a bridge built by the Romans.
November 7th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
you should check out bridges in Putrajaya, Malaysia too. pretty awesome.
November 9th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Photo Number 10 (above the Golden Gate) is the Awatere Bridge south of Blenheim, New Zealand, crossing the Awatere River. (A-wa-te-re) It is a single lane, double deck bridge on the main national highway (State Highway 1) - the top deck is a rail line. During summer you could wait up to half an hour to cross the bridge.
The bridge has been closed to road traffic only last month as a replacement two lane road bridge has been built adjancent to the bridge.
November 10th, 2007 at 2:07 am
I agree that the Millau Viaduct should be in there but so too should the bridge from Kobe to Shikoku Island (despite the fact that it was a massive money loser).

December 3rd, 2007 at 4:12 pm
“And maybe these are not all amazing from an engineering point of view, they are all aesthetically spectacular.”
Hmm, I disagree. I’d say they’re all good functional engineering, but several do not strike me as beautiful at all. To me, most of the post-Second World War ones are JUST engineering. The older structures have more life.
December 4th, 2007 at 8:48 am
The Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan’s upper and lower peninsula is the longest two tower suspension bridge between anchorages (8,614 feet) (2,626 m) in the Western Hemisphere, longer than the Golden Gate. It’s total length is also greater at nearly five miles, definitely one of the worlds amazing bridges.

Beautiful pics…don’t worry about the complainers…I really really need to know if anyone knows of a bridge near a waterfall that looks similar to #5 a long bridge, flat type that lights up on the sides at night east coast or eastern region of the United States. It is very important. If you know the name please post it. Thanks.
February 1st, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I recently had a visionary dream regarding a catastrophe relating to a bridge. I have a perfect description of the bridge the layout, etc. I have no wordly knowledge of bridges and am concerned for people’s lives. I know it was the east coast and an open water bridge. I also know it was a low bridge built of concrete near a waterfall and a beach. In the dream there were tumultuous waves like a hurricane and the bridge was missing sections and flooded. The reason for alarm is because God warned me of 911 before it happened and honestly I didn’t take the warning too seriously until afterwards. If you can’t help that is fine I will just keep praying for the safety of the people, but if you have any idea of a bridge or area that remotely fits this description please let me know. I have had earthquake dreams etc. before and disasters, floods that come to pass so please this is not a joke. There was also an inlet type area of water that was circular with extremely rough churning waves that were crushing people up against a large man made wall that was perpendicular to beachfront townhomes…I just need to clear my conscience if there is no such bridge then wonderful.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:10 am
The photos are really good, shows the evolution of structures of connection, from heart-touching stone to contemporary steel. It would be better if they were chronologically sorted.
