    And we're ready to get the camera out again!

    This week we would like to see you photos of bridges. Bridges with or without support, imaginary, real or utilitarian, show us the bridge that gulfs a great divide for you!

    Bridges can bring things together, like people, and places. Let's celebrate the bridge!

    Same rules as before... :)

    I'm including two pictures but only the first for consideration.

    This is Dellville Covered Bridge, near me.
    174 feet long, built in 1889 and placed on the National Historic Register in 1980.

    ​
    The second picture is just for general interest.
    It's the same bridge after it was burned in 2014 by arsonists. Took them five years to catch them.

    ​
    It was restored back to its original glory in 2019 at a cost of nearly one million dollars.

    The bridge that crosses from Windsor to Eton. You can no longer drive across these days.

    That is in Royal Berkshire.

    What motivation did those assholes have to burn something like that down?

    When it opened in 1964, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge was the world's longest suspension span. The ends of the bridge are at historic Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island, both of which guarded New York Harbor at the Narrows for over a century. The bridge was named after Giovanni da Verrazzano, who, in 1524, was the first European explorer to sail into New York Harbor.

    Bridge to nowhere I assume.

    Anyway, this reminds me of the Fort Duquesne Bridge in Pittsburgh which was named "The Bridge to Nowhere" as it ended 100 feet up and 90 feet away from the other bank of the Allegheny River before it was completed 11 years after it was begun.
    In 1964 Fred Williams drove his 1959 Dodge station wagon off the end landing upside down on the other bank. He walked away unscathed.

    This sparked a local DJ to start the “Cordic & Co. Bridge Leap” contest.
