Hello!
There's a bridge on each euro bill.
It's not always the same bridge.
Here's an example:

Good stuff, DMT. Merry Christmas!
Did ya know the word "BRIDGER" is not allowed in Scrabble? I've tried it, and got called on it. It was my nickname for a while after that.
I always liked these old trestles myself.
edit: Fet, that's an entrancing vid of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (GG) collapse. Here's a link to the story.

On the edge of Iguazu Falls - any engineers in the house?
I don't wonder about the beams but rather the pilings.

I'm partial to this one on the way up to Mineral King...
It has a guard, too!

After cruising through all the bridges on this thread, this one pales in comparison. I don't think this is the original, historic bridge but one rebuilt at a later time.

The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau, IPA: [vjadyk də mijo]) is a cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France.
Designed by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world with one mast's summit at 343.0 metres (1,125 ft) above the base of the structure.[3][4] It is the 12th highest bridge deck in the world, being 270 metres (890 ft)[1] between the road deck and the ground below.[5] The viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Montpellier. Construction cost was approximately €400 million. It was formally dedicated on 14 December 2004, inaugurated on the 15th, and opened to traffic on the 16th. The bridge received the 2006 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award.[6]--Wikipedia

I'm sorry but that Millau thing is a blight on the landscape.

Some pictures of the Bahn line bridge in Mainz, this is the line to Frankfurt. All of the stonework is pre war, but the span was itself was bombed out and had to be rebuilt.

Hey Dingus!
You ever check out that little limestone 'bridge' down on the creek below moaning cavern? Parking is on left < 1 mile after crossing Parrot's Ferry heading north....pockety boulder stuff with a wet landing!
