Notable bridges

  • Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
  • Brooklyn Bridge, New York City, 1883 — fifty percent longer than any previous attempt to build a suspension span and revered for its Gothic style
  • Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Virginia, USA — Arguably the most ambitious bridging project in recent decades; combines bridges, tunnels, and trestles to span 17.6 miles (28.3 km) at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay
  • Confederation Bridge, Canada — Connects Prince Edward Island with the Canadian mainland; the longest bridge over waters that freeze in the world
  • Forth Rail Bridge, Scotland — An early and innovative multiple cantilever type constructed from tubular elements fabricated from sheet.
  • Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California — arguably the most beautiful of all of the suspension bridges, a record span when constructed.
  • Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, Louisiana, USA — Dual spans that are the longest bridges in the world, crossing 23 miles (38.4 km) of water
  • Millau Viaduct, France — the highest bridge in the world.
  • Moodna Viaduct
  • Pennybacker Bridge a.k.a. "Loop 360 Bridge", Austin, Texas — an iconic bridge in the Hill Country of central Texas crossing the Colorado River.
  • Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey between Newark and Jersey City as part of U.S. Highways 1 and 9.
  • Rio-Antirio bridge, Greece — The longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, unique in its solutions to difficult site problems.
  • Sundial Bridge, Redding, California — a stunningly dramatic single spar cable stayed bridge for pedestrians
  • Sunshine Skyway, Florida, USA
  • Sydney Harbour Bridge a.k.a. "Coat Hanger" — the most famous of the suspended deck compression arch types
  • Tower Bridge, London — one of the most enduring symbols of London, completed in 1885 during the peak of Britain's iron based industrial age
  • Tsing Ma Bridge, Hong Kong – the longest suspension commodating both road and metro service.
  • Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge, Boston, Massachusetts — A modern symbol of Boston and the northern terminus of the most expensive single road project in U.S. history, the Big Dig
  • London Bridge in London, England — noted neither for its architecture nor as an engineering feat, this bridge is one of the most famous in the world simply because there has continuously been a bridge at this location since Roman times, or about two thousand years.
  • London Bridge (Arizona) in Havasu, Arizona — unremarkable but for its history as one of the many London Bridges throughout the ages. This is a stone bridge, replaced by a modern concrete span and brought to its present location as part of a large lakeside development. See London Bridge#New London Bridge
