$360 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Boston heads will know this one: http://www.bigdig.com/thtml/images/tour37.jpg'> word on the street is that theres a skate park going in under this, and its going to be one of the largest ones in america. http://www.capturedsight.co.uk/london/images_london_bridges/millenium_bridge_01.jpg'> londons millenium foot bridge. i walked over this bridge once a week on my way to the tate modern. i heard they couldnt open it in 2000 because it swayed so much, so they added on the extra suspention you see there to hold it in place. good thread for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

se_FOUR Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 The Humber Suspension Bridge, Hull England http://www.bardaglea.org.uk/bridges/bridge-types/images/humber.jpg'> The Humber Bridge, which was completed in 1981, held the record for the longest span in the world. It's record wasn't broken until 1998 when the Storebelt and the East Bridge, Denmark was completed. The Humber Bridge is truly a work of art, with a main span length of 4,624 ft. The Humber Bridge still holds the record for the longest single span suspension bridge in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loopsnew Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 i thought hong kong had the longest suspension bridge? either way, def impressive in person. tsing ma bridge http://www.hong-kong-hotels-network.com/hong-kong-photographs/pictures-image-pages/hki_ael_airport_tsing_ma_bridge.jpg'> the more modern stuff is amazing, but i think i dig old school alot more just for the fact that back then, i dunno, technology/ equipment wasn't as advanced. and the fact that jesus and mohammed and who knows who else, at one time, crossed it... just eery feeling in a cool way. same goes for all bridges, in a sense. the path less traveled... and by whom. imagine... pole-i-Khaju http://www.dejkam.com/iran/isfahan/photos/17.jpg'> built ~ 1650. def weird crossing this one^^. so ...old. the coolest part was at the bases, on each side, were little slabs of surface with these weird...i dunno, structures for people to wash their clothes. :n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
