The Trans-Canada Highway, passing through Banff, has been problematic, posing hazards for wildlife due to vehicle traffic and as an impediment to wildlife migration. Grizzly bears are among the species impacted by the highway, which together with other developments in Banff, has caused fragmentation of the landscape. Grizzly bears prefer the montane habitat, which has been most impacted by development. Wildlife crossings, including a series of underpasses, and two wildlife overpasses, have been constructed at a number of points along the Trans-Canada Highway to help alleviate this problem.]]>

Paddington curling bridge
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: Dania
@ 2009-07-22 08:39:06
A curling bridge is a type of movable bridge, of which the sole example shown here is The Rolling Bridge, built in 2004 as part of the Grand Union Canal office & retail development project at Paddington Basin, London.

The bridge was conceived by British designer Thomas Heatherwick, designed by SKM Anthony Hunt with Packman Lucas, and built by Littlehampton Welding Ltd.

The bridge consists of eight triangular sections hinged at the walkway level and connected above by two part links that can be collapsed towards the deck by hydraulic pistons, which are concealed in vertical posts in the bridge parapets. When extended, it resembles a conventional steel and timber footbridge, and was 12 metres long. However, to allow the passage of boats, the bridge curls up until its two ends join, to form an octagonal shape measuring one half of the waterway's width at that point.

The Rolling Bridge curls up every Friday at noon.

The maintenance and opening of the bridge is managed by Merchant Square Estates.

Following on from the maintenance issues in 2008. The bridge has been repaired and was fully operational from April 2009

In 2005, the bridge won the British Structural Steel Design Award.

As the British pushed forward from their bridgehead at San Carlos they started to encounter the outer Argentine defences in the hills around Port Stanley. 3 Para took a northern rout and by the end of May had advanced to Estancia house. From there they sent out there specialist patrols from D company to scout out the enemies positions on Mount Longdon, their expected objective in the comming battles. There was a problem however that the journey from Estancia took several hours at each night and so a patrols base was set up at Murrel Bridge at about the halfway point.

On the Argentinian side it was soon realised that the units in the positions on the surrounding hills were illequiped in both training & moral to carry out their own patroling. Thus, the army commando units, normally used for deep-recce had to take on this roll. They were able to do so with some effect and in the early hours of the 7th June one such patrol was approaching Murrel Bridge.

After several successful nights in the area Sgt Addle's patrol had just arrived back at the bluff on the western bank of the river which they had been using as a base. Here they met up with a few others of the Patrols company & settled down for the night. Within a short space of time a sentry reported moving figures down near the bridge. The Paras opened up and a confused firefight developed in the darkness with smallarms, machinegun and LAW fire being exchanged. The Commando patrol was very aggreeive and before dawn broke had forced the Paras to withdraw, having to leave behind much of their equipment. The next night the paras returned in greater force but their equipment had gone. Patrols from then on had to be mounted from closer to their own lines.

The British claimed 5 Argentine casualties (none confermed) they suffered none themselves. ]]>

This bridge that spans the Rock Creek is the oldest known wrought iron bridge in Missouri. It was built in 1874 by the Keystone Bridge Company to cross the River des Peres at Ivory Avenue in the Carondelet neighborhood in St. Louis. When a new bridge replaced it in 1928, the bridge was moved to Kimmswick and put in its current location in 1930. Today the bridge is only open to pedestrian traffic.

A zig-zag bridge is often seen in East Asian gardens. It may be made of stone slabs or planks as part of a pond design and is frequently seen in rustic gardens constructed according to Zen philosophy and teachings. As it often has no railings, it is quite possible for an inattentive walker to simply fall off an end into the water. The objective in employing such a bridge is to focus the walker's attention to the current place and time - "be here, now"

The zig-zag of paths and bridges also follows a principle of Feng Shui. Negative energy and bad spirits are believed to have problems navigating corners, while people and good energy have no such problem.]]>

Cobweb Bridge

By: adrbr
@ 2008-03-27 16:07:33
The Cobweb Bridge is located in the city centre of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, near the disused Sheffield Victoria Station.

It was the solution to a difficult design problem - how to pass the riverside cycle-walkway (Five Weirs Walk) under the massive Wicker Arches viaduct and at the same time link one bank of the River Don to the other. Without the bridge, the footpath would have had to make a one mile detour.

Designed by Sheffield City Council's Structures Section, the entire 100 metres long bridge is suspended on a web of steel cables secured to the underside of the Viaduct, hence the name. The theme is completed by large steel spiders concealing the lighting on the ceiling.

The bridge was completed in 2002.

Ponte Sant'Angelo, once the Aelian Bridge or Pons Aelius meaning the Bridge of Hadrian, is a bridge in Rome, constructed between 134-139 by Roman Emperor Hadrian, to span the Tiber, from the city center to his newly constructed mausoleum, now the towering Castel Sant'Angelo. The bridge is faced with travertine marble and spans the Tiber with three arches; it was approached by means of ramp from the river. The bridge is now solely pedestrian, and provides a photogenic vista of the Castel Sant'Angelo. It links the rioni of Ponte (which was named after the bridge itself), and Borgo.

The London Millennium Footbridge is a pedestrian-only steel suspension bridge crossing the River Thames in London, England, linking Bankside with the City. It is located between Southwark Bridge (downstream) and Blackfriars Bridge (upstream). With construction beginning in 1998, it was the first new bridge across the Thames in London since Tower Bridge in 1894 and it is owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.

Londoners nicknamed the bridge the Wobbly Bridge after crowds of pedestrians felt an unexpected swaying motion on the first two days after the bridge opened. The bridge was closed and modified, and further modifications eliminated the "wobble" entirely.
Construction began in late 1998 with the main works beginning on 28 April 1999 by Monberg Thorsen and Sir Robert McAlpine. The bridge was completed at a cost of £18.2m (£2.2m over budget) and opened on 10 June 2000 (2 months late). Unexpected lateral vibration (resonant structural response) caused the bridge to be closed on 12 June for modifications.

The Bridge of Flowers started out as a trolley bridge in 1908. The Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway trolley hauled freight between the rail yard in Shelburne Falls and several textile mills in Colrain. It delivered milk and mail, carried workers to the mills and children to the movies at the Memorial Theater in Shelburne Falls.

The railway went out of business in 1928 when trucking took over the freight business. But, the last surviving trolley car, found in a farmer's field, has been wonderfully restored to its original condition. Take a ride on old No.10 at the Trolley Museum!

In 1929, funds were raised to transform the abandoned trolley bridge into a bridge of flowers. Its upkeep still depends largely on donations from the public and the hard work of the volunteers who assist the paid gardener.]]>

Huge steel tubes twist and turn over the railroad tracks along Elliott Avenue West in a double helix that recalls the ladder-like structure of DNA.

Designed by Johnson Architecture and KPFF Engineers, it's an apt metaphor as the gateway and a skybridge to a $625 million research and development complex for the world's largest biotechnology company, Amgen, on Terminal 88 and Pier 89 in the south area of Interbay.

The Chihuly Bridge of Glass is a 500-foot-long pedestrian bridge linking downtown Tacoma, Washington, to the city's waterfront, the Thea Foss Waterway. Conceived by Dale Chihuly, artist and native of Tacoma, and designed in collaboration with Arthur Andersson of Andersson·Wise Architects, it is a display of color and form soaring seventy feet into the air. The Chihuly Bridge of Glass, commissioned by the Museum of Glass: International Center for Contemporary Art, was gifted by the museum to the city of Tacoma. On July 6, 2002, the bridge was dedicated and opened to the public.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/chihuly-bridge-of-glass/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/chihuly-bridge-of-glass/ Fri, 24 Aug 2007 15:35:12 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/chihuly-bridge-of-glass/ 47.24558200 -122.43523800 <![CDATA[Poster @ Children Hospital San Diego]]>

Pont des Trous

By: kjfitz
@ 2007-06-09 17:29:43
The bridge called 'Pont des Trous' is one of the most typical monuments of medieval architecture preserved in the Western world. It was part of the XIIIth century city walls.

This gate is made up of two towers : 'Tour du Bourdiel' on the left bank, and 'Tour de la Thieulerie' on the right bank. To defend the city against attacks via the river, enormous gates could be lowered to block the passage through the arches.
The curtain wall has bays and arrow-slits. The 'Pont des Trous' was the scene of fierce battles through the ages and specially during the siege of 1340, at the beginning of the 100 Years War.

The bridge was restored after World War II. To meet the needs of modern navigation, it was raised by 2,40 metres and the middle arch was broadened (1947).]]>

The Ponte degli Scalzi (or Ponte dei Scalzi), literally, "bridge of the barefoot", is one of only three in Venice to span the Grand Canal.

The bridge connects the sestieri of Santa Croce and Cannaregio. On the north side, Cannaregio, are the Chiesa degli Scalzi (church of the barefoot) and the Santa Lucia (Ferrovia) railway station. The south side, Santa Croce, is close to the bus station Piazzale Roma.

Designed by Eugenio Miozzi, it was completed in 1934, replacing an Austrian iron bridge.

Ponte degli Scalzi is located close to the site of construction of the fourth bridge over the Grand Canal, to be known as Ponte di Calatrava. Construction has been delayed, and is still in progress (as of February 2006). This bridge will be slightly closer to the bus station.]]>

The Pyrmont Bridge is a swing bridge over Cockle Bay in Darling Harbour (part of Sydney Harbour) in Sydney, Australia.

The foundation stone was laid on 6 December 1899 by the Hon. E. W. O'Sullivan and the bridge was opened for traffic on 28 June 1902 by the Governor of New South Wales, His Excellency Sir Harry Holdsworth Rawson KGB.

The engineer was Percy Allan (1861–1930). The bridge had one of the largest swing spans in the world and it was one of the first to be powered by electricity.

Engineers Australia has recognized the bridge as a National Engineering Landmark.

The bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in the 1980s, the traffic having been diverted over new freeway structures built further south of Cockle Bay, and it was then re-opened as a pedestrian bridge as part of the re-development of Darling Harbour as a recreational pedestrian precinct. It now also carries an elevated monorail which travels between Darling Harbour and the Sydney central business district.]]>

Cramond Island is one of several islands that lie in the Firth of Forth in eastern Scotland, near Edinburgh. As its name implies, it lies off Cramond. It is one third of a mile (0.5 km) long and covers an area of 19 acres, and is currently part of the Dalmeny Estate. Strictly speaking it is not a true island at all, but a tidal island being connected to the mainland at low tide and also by a long causeway. This allows easy access to visitors wishing to cross over. The island lies approximately one mile from the shore.

The Hangman's Bridge (Henkersteg) was constructed in 1457 as a wooden bridge. Between the 16th and the 19th century, the Nuremberg hangman lived in the tower and the roofed walk above the river Pegnitz. After the flood of 1595, three arches of the town wall bridging the southern arm of the river Pegnitz were demolished and replaced by the wooden Hangman's Bridge with its tiled roof (reconstructed in 1954).

The executioner had to live in segregated accommodation within the city, since his trade was considered "dishonest". Up until the Age of Enlightenment, citizens avoided any physical contact with the hangman, in order not to be excluded from the Christian community.]]>

The Royal Gorge Bridge is a tourist attraction near Cañon City, Colorado, within a 360 acre (1.5 km²) theme park, hanging 1,053 feet (321 m) above the Arkansas River and billed as the highest suspension bridge in the world. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad runs under the bridge along the base of Royal Gorge. The bridge is 880 feet (268 m) long but only 18 feet (5 m) wide, with a wooden walkway with over 1000 planks. The bridge is suspended from towers that are 150 feet (46 m) high.

The bridge was constructed in six months, between June 5, 1929 and November 1929, as a one-lane toll bridge, at a cost of $350,000. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Oddly, the bridge was not constructed for transportation purposes; instead, it was built with the intent that it serve as a tourist attraction, and has continued to be one of the most-visited tourist attractions in Colorado since its construction.

The Viaduc de Millau, completed in December 2004, is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, at 1,118 feet (341 m). However, its deck is only 885 ft (270 m) above the River Tarn, so the Royal Gorge Bridge still holds the title of highest suspension bridge in the world.]]>

The bridge consists of 23 arches, and spans the river below St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis. Built by railroad baron James J. Hill in 1883, the bridge allowed for increased movement of people and goods across the river. It served as a working railroad bridge until 1965 but is still seen as a symbol of the railroad age. Rehabilitation of this National Historic Engineering Landmark began in 1980." ]]>

Purple People Bridge
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2006-10-21 18:47:25
It sounded like a great idea to politicians and boosters of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Newport, Kentucky: lease an abandoned bridge over the Ohio River to a promoter who would then paint it a garish color and convince people to pay $60 a piece to walk across it. The promoter said that 80,000 people a year would pay for the experience, pumping about $30 million a year into the local economy.

The problem is, no one showed up.

The Purple People Bridge, a former railroad and automobile trestle across the Ohio River, was given its goofy name by the promoter, Dennis Speigel (focus groups decided that it should be painted purple.). It spans 2,670 feet in a series of five ironwork humps, which peak at about 140 feet high. It became an all-pedestrian bridge in 2001, and the Purple People Bridge Climb was introduced in June 2006.

* Climbers are required to wear full-body purple and yellow jump suits that look stupid and must be unbearably hot on a sunny summer's day.
* Climbers must drag along a tether that is attached to a track that parallels the walkway.
* It isn't a "climb" like rock climbing; it's just walking up and down a succession of metal staircases.
* It takes 2.5 hours, including a full hour of orientation and video-watching.
* No photography is allowed.
* Climbers must go in groups with a guide, and must wear headsets that constantly broadcast music and sound effects.
* Similar bridge climbs in Australia and New Zealand -- the inspiration for this attraction -- offer breathtaking views and stunning vistas. The Purple Bridge Climb offers a view of Cincinnati and the brown Ohio River.
* It costs $60.00 (You can walk across the bridge on the deck, rather than on the superstructure, for free.).

Dennis Speigel has offered numerous explanations for the lack of public enthusiasm for his attraction: the price of gasoline, the economy, the heat, the rain. He has declined to divulge how many people have paid to climb the bridge. But he has lowered the price -- for weekend climbs at least -- to $40.]]>

The bridge is unique in its design and and has even been filmed for an advertisement on TV, but on the 11th April the bridge is to closed for 3 years... Although local companies have been protesting that the bridge will effect business, the bridge needs to be closed for safety reasons. As the "Canary Wharf Group" needs to close it to develop its 2 million square feet, Heron Quay complex. The construction work is estimated to be £350,000.]]>
