The stone bridge dates from around 1500. In 1573 Queen Elizabeth I ordered money to be raised to carry out work on the bridge which had fallen into disrepair. It was built as an alternative to the ford which is a short distance downstream. The bridge now consists of two arches with cutwaters & pedestrian refuges. There was a third arch that was filled in.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lerryn-bridge/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lerryn-bridge/ Sun, 21 Dec 2008 05:47:33 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lerryn-bridge/ 50.38480900 -4.61653200 <![CDATA[Rainbow Bridge Border Crossing]]>

The Simcoe-Balsam Lake sector of the Trent-Severn Waterway is noted for its virtually unscathed infrastructure dating to the time of construction in the first decade of the 20th century. Canal Lake Arch Bridge is one of the finer elements. Known affectionately by locals as the "Hole in the Wall" the massive concrete structure is spectacular when seen from a boat. It was designed using the Melan system of construction, named after the Austrian Joseph Melan who was granted the patent in 1894. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/canal-lake-arch-bridge/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/canal-lake-arch-bridge/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:47:55 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/canal-lake-arch-bridge/ 44.55657900 -79.04519300 <![CDATA[Old Chain of Rocks Bridge]]>

The Bridge was the most famous crossing of Route 66 over the Mississippi. Its most notable feature is a 22-degree bend occurring at the middle of the crossing, necessary for navigation on the river. The name comes from a "chain" of rocks crossing the Mississippi just below the bridge — an exposure of bedrock creating rapids in the river. Originally a motor route, it now carries walking and biking trails over the river. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/old-chain-of-rocks-bridge/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/old-chain-of-rocks-bridge/ Mon, 15 Dec 2008 14:59:10 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/old-chain-of-rocks-bridge/ 38.75997300 -90.17432200 <![CDATA[Jones Bridge]]>

The steel-girdered bridge once traversed the Chattahoochee at what is now Jones Bridge Park. Opened to traffic in 1904, the bridge operated until the Depression, when officials in north Fulton County, on the other side of the river, fretted about the bridge's safety. They wanted to install new wooden flooring. Gwinnett County officials balked, and the bridge was closed and barricaded. Then, during the steel shortages of World War II, thieves with trucks and a crane dismantled and hauled off parts of the bridge, according to county historians. Residents, told the bridge had been bought as scrap, apparently figured anyone with all that equipment and working that hard couldn't be crooks. The larcenous crew carted away half of the bridge before disappearing. The part of the bridge left behind stands still, rusting in the river.]]>

Built in 1916 by the Midland Bridge Company of Kansas City, Missouri, Dewey Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Utah. It is also the longest clear span bridge in Utah. The span of 500 feet was at the time of it's construction, the second longest span west of the Mississippi. Dewey Bridge acted as the only Colorado River crossing on Route 128, connecting Moab with Western Colorado suppliers, until a new bridge was built in 1988. It was an engineering accomplishment and was vital for commercial transportation in the early 20th century. The Grand County Historical Preservation Commission refurbished the bridge in 2000, making it a part of the Kokopelli bike trail. In 1984, the bridge was designated a historic structure by the National Register of Historic Places. Then, on April 6th, 2008 a 7 year old boy playing with matches at a nearby campground, started a brush fire, which spread for ten miles, engulfing the white planks of the newly refurbished bridge.]]>

This pedestrian gangplank is the main characteristic of the bridge that descends slightly from the access bench mark and, after an inflection point, it begins to ascend until arriving to the 20 m of height, being used for it 100 steps. The pedestrian gangplank leans on in the structure of the bridge and for its nimbleness and its undulant form ends up seeming a rope suspended in the air .

The Bietigheim Enz Valley Bridge is a well-known German railway bridge over the Enz vallay at Bietigheim-Bissingen and one of the landmarks of the city. It was built from 1851-1853 as part of the railway line Bietigheim Bruchsal under the direction of Karl Etzel. The Bietigheim Enz Valley Bridge is a bricked stone construction with two elbow rows. The viaduct is approx.. 287 meters long, approx.. 33 meters high and has 21 elbows, which stretch themselves over the Enz valley. Six elbows were destroyed at the end of the Second World War; from that afterwards beside it an auxiliary bridge, which was opened on 1 August 1945 was erected, from which are still some foundations visible. The damaged columns were again developed later, one of the elbows had to be locked completely with concrete. Directly beside the Bietigheim Enz Valley Bridge there is the festival area of Bietigheim Bissingens, on which at the beginning of Septembers the Bietigheim Horse Market, a beer festival, takes place annually.

Stone Bridge is a bridge that crosses Bull Run in the Manassas National Battlefield Park. It was destroyed during the Battle of First Manassas on July 21, 1861, the first major land battle of the American Civil War.

Some years later, a new bridge, similar to the original design, was built on the site of the old bridge.

A traffic was transfered to a newer bridge build adjacent in the 1960's.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/stone-bridge/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/stone-bridge/ Tue, 24 Apr 2007 23:42:41 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/stone-bridge/ 38.82430100 -77.50365600 <![CDATA[Ojuela's Suspension Bridge and Ghost town]]>

Ambrussum is notable for its bridge (French: Pont Ambroix), painted by Gustave Courbet. The bridge was still usable in the Middle Ages, with all 11 arches, but when painted by Courbet in 1857 only two arches were left, and one of those was lost in flooding of the Vidourle River in 1933. A single arch remains.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/roman-bridge-in-ambrussum-archeological-site/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/roman-bridge-in-ambrussum-archeological-site/ Thu, 12 Oct 2006 16:41:16 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/roman-bridge-in-ambrussum-archeological-site/ 43.71717900 4.15178100 <![CDATA[Khaju Bridge]]>

From www.itto.org:

The Bridge of Khaju or pole-i-Khaju, the most famous of Isfahan bridges, has roused the admiration of travelers since the 17th century.
There was an earlier bridge across the river at the same spot, near the district of Khaju on the old Shiraz road; this was probably built in the reign of Timurian sovereign, one of the successors of Tamerlane (15th century). Shah Abbas II built the present structure round about 1650. It has 23 arch and are 436 feet long and 39 feet wide. It is also a dam; sluice gates between the piers closed the canals, raising the water level upstream so that large reserves could be collected for irrigating the surrounding gardens.
With its two stories of arcades with intersecting arches, its stone steps downstream with the water cascading over them, and its two large pavilions in the center- (The Prince` Parlors)- this bridge is a masterpiece of balance and harmony.
The outer side of the arcades is decorated with richly colored tiles, and the interior of the pavilions with more recent paintings.
Shah Abbas the second of the Safavid dynasty on the ruins of Hassan Baik Bridge in 1650 or 1655.The bridge has been known with a variety of titles including Pol-e-Shahi, Pol-e-Khaju, Pol-e-Baba Rokneddin, and Pol-e-Gabrha built this bridge. The bridge is 105 meters long and 14 meters wide.
The pass way of the bridge is 7.5 meters wide, made of bricks and stones with 21 larger and 26 smaller inlet and outlet channels. The pieces of stone used in this bridge are over 2 meters long and the distance between every channel and the ceiling base is 20 meters. The existing inscriptions suggest that the bridge was repaired in 1873. ]]>
