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.

- 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
