I remember when they built this bridge. It's spectacular, but I sure miss the drive from San Diego to Idlywild on old Highway 395.

2,000 years old. Still in use. Roman bridge, northern Spain
2000 years and working it is a mark of civilization
DMT That looks like the old RR Bridge near Cosumnes River Preserve.

Aerial view of Atlanterhavsveien. To the right, the North Sea. Nothing but ocean until Iceland.

here's the hoover dam bypass. unfortunately, with continuous security
sidewalls blocking any view, the drive across it is the most mundane imaginable
as with steelmonkey's pics upthread, the construction phase dazzled

Mighty Hiker has posted pictures from Atlantehavsveien before. I add some pictures from different weather conditions.
Dingus: The bridge fits very well into the landscape.

So I'm dismayed that no love has been shown Mssr Eiffel for his Garabit Viaduct
over the Truyère River. It was built 5 years before his less usefull tour.
Sadly, it was blown up in 1976:
Here's the video: Garabit Viaduct Demo
Mssr Eiffel is also well-known in Switzerland for designing the railway bridge
over the Birs River. It was built in 1875 and was one of his earlist designs.
Sadly, on 14 June 1891 it collapsed when a heavier-than-normal-train crossed
it killing 73 and badly injuring 171. The analysis "revealed that Euler's
formula for buckling, which had hitherto been used to calculate design
loads in such structures, needed to be corrected for slender bars." (Wiki)
