Chapel Bridge by mnkreations
Chapel bridge is a very old wooden bridge spanning Sugar Creek near Stockland, IL. It is adjacent to the Sugar Creek Cemetery which is home to a scenic very old chapel from which it derives its name. The lore of this bridge is that it was constructed from a ferris wheel used at the World’s Fair in Chicago many, many years ago. Great place to fish! / / Sugar Creek Cemetery Chapel / / / Featured in the Stream Crossings Group and Bridges!

Crossing the MISSISSIPPI River by Ruth Lambert
This unlikely bridge crosses from a point where ILL,Ky and Missouri intersect. It is a very narrow bridge and built very high with steep entrances at both ends. It requires steady nerves and complete focus to navigate across.

Victoria Bridge by amaniquen
Location: Victoria Bridge, Brisbane CBD, QLD. I was on the citycat, heading back to the university. It was late in the afternoon and everyone crowded onto the front deck. It was a beautiful sunset – a golden orange tinged across the swirling clouds. In this photo you can see the people stopping and looking at the sunset.

Menai bridge from afar by ShaunW
Taken with a Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 53mm, F16, shutter speed 8 seconds, ISO100, edited in Photoshop I forgot about this shot, I remembered on the way home from work today, I hope you like it. Taken at sunrise on a frosty morn a few weeks ago on Anglesey. The suspension bridge spans the Menai Strait from Bangor, Wales, to the island of Anglesey, a distance of 580 feet (176 metres). Designed and built (1819–26) by Thomas Telford, it was the first important modern suspension bridge. The deck, designed for two carriageways, was suspended by iron chains from masonry towers at either end. Sixteen chain cables were each composed of 935 iron bars, a total of 2,000 tons of wrought iron. Though damaged by storms, the bridge survived because of the addition of transverse bracing and trussed railings. In 1939, to accommodate increased automobile traffic, the chains were replaced by steel cables

Tranquility by Kelly Bermingham
This is a bridge over the “Blackwood River” in WA’s southwest. “Sue’s Bridge”. The Blackwood River, continually flowing, is the longest river in Western Australia’s Southwest. The river begins in the southern wheatbelt of Western Australia and from there, the usually placid, occasionally wild, but always majestic Blackwood River travels 270 kms to the sea. Along the way the river lends its name to a remarkable valley, one it has helped shape over thousands of years, leaving its mark on both the landscape & the lives of the people. It passes through what many would argue is the most scenic region of Western Australia / Exerpt taken from “The Blackwood River Website”:http://www.blackwoodrivervalley.org.au/ The photo is mine – Taken a couple of days ago on my Camping trip! I hope you like it :) !

Amsterdam bridges I by jchanders
Here another picture taken at the Nieuwe Herengracht in Amsterdam, this time showing the bridge at the side of the River Amstel. It is one of the traditional wooden bridges, so well-known in the Netherlands, from the latter part of the 17th century. While most of the old bridges in Amsterdam – and there are very many of them, with all the canals – are stone bridges, automatically limiting the passage on the water to only smaller boats, this wooden bridges could be opened and so allowed the passages of bigger boats. My next submission will show one these stone bridges. Amsterdam, 30th December 2008, 3.04 pm / Panasonic DMC-TZ3, 4,6-46 mm at 4,9 mm / F 3,4, 1/400, ISO 100 Here bridge II:

Hodder (Cromwell) bridge old and new by ShaunW
Taken with a Canon 400D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 0.16 seconds, ISO100, edited in Photoshop and Photomatix I got very wet feet taking this shot!! 3 miles into a 7 miles walk…I had a very long bath when I got home!! Whilst Cromwell himself is said to have passed over the bridge, it is more than likely that the bulk of his army used the ford a few yards upstream (and between Cromwell’s bridge and the present road bridge). Although the bridge appears to be in an advanced state of decay, it is clear that the bridge never had any parapets, and is probably still close to its original state.

Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge. by TallGuy
Feel like I’ve been transported back in time… I took this and many other similar shots in October 2007.. at the time this one didn’t get posted anywhere, as I don’t like posting too many similar photo’s at one time. / The transporter bridge was an unusual solution to the problem of getting traffic over the river Tees but also allowing tall ships through. There wasn’t enough room for a run up for a normal bridge so this fairly unique design was used. A section of road is suspended by cables, it acts like a gondola… cars and people get on at one side and then the gondola is whisked across to the other side. / The bridge was featured in “Auf Wiedersehen, Pet”, a British comedy series about a group of construction workers.. In one series the construction workers were supposed to have dismantled the bridge and rebuilt it in America. It was too convincing, the BBC had to put an assurance that the bridge had not been moved to America and still remained in Middlesbrough after complaints.. I believe the transporter bridge’s website still assure people it hasn’t been moved. It amazing how some people can be taken in..
