Interesting stuff. I never thought of bridges as art.

Here is another for consideration:

Sundial Bridge -- Redding, California (Pedestrian Bridge)

[Billthedrill]

Very nice, but that would have to be an awfully big museum.

That certainly is a cool looking bridge. I did a quick check on the type of structure and found that information also very interesting. Thanks.

Da Nang, Vietnam - not really part of the structure, but fun:

Maybe a bridge that can take a load:
Glenfinnan Viaduct and Loch Shiel in the Scottish Highlands, Inverness-shire, Scotland

[Inspectorette]

Galloping Gertie, Tacoma, WA. Never went over it, have been on the new bridge many times.

Spiral bridges:

Brusio Spiral Viaduct, Switzerland, 1908; Kawazu Nanadaru Loop Bridge, Japan, 1982

That’s the one I believe they called Galloping Gertie

[RedMonqey]

It needs to scrub it’s hands before picking up that bridge.

Don’t know who has been crossing it.

[Interesting Times]

Yep. Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Incidentally, a very similar bridge still stands on the southern coast of Maine.

Japanese Tea Garden bridge in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. One of my favorites. Our kids loved it when they were little.

[Michael.SF.]

The Golden Gate is truly an American Icon.

I lived in the North Bay area (Benicia) for 22 years. I never got tired of the view (while driving west) as one exits the Caldecott Tunnell. Before you are the Oakland Bay Bridge and in the distance the Golden Gate.

As horrible as SF is, in many ways, it is a beautiful natural setting for a city.

It’s been said anyone can design a bridge that won’t fall down.

The trick is to design a bridge that barely won’t fall down.

People make a good living driving others over our Bay Bridge in Maryland:
