I was stationed at RAF Alconbury, in the 70s. There was a bridge across the River Ouse in the town of Huntingdon built by the Romans that was still in use. It was a trip to ride a bus over a 900 year old bridge!

I was stationed at Incirlik AS, Turkey in the mid-80’s, and there is a Roman bridge crossing the Ceyhan river near there, which carried all traffic to the city of Adana while their modern steel bridge was knocked out by flooding.
You can slam the Roman Empire over many issues, but they certainly knew how to build things!
