Menai Suspension Bridge

Our next destination was one I couldn’t wait to go to, the Williamsburg Bridge. I was excited because I love seeing and learning about the architecture of a bridge and also being able to walk over one is so amazing! “Construction on the bridge began in 1896 and opened it on December 19, 1903. When it was completed the Williamsburg Bridge set the record for the longest suspension bridge in the world.

building of the Goodwill Bridge. The Goodwill bridge is a bridge which spans across the Brisbane river carrying non-motorised traffic such as cyclists and pedestrians. The purpose of the bridge was to create a shorter and more convenient route of travel for residents wishing to travel between South Bank Parklands and Gardens Point in the Brisbane CBD.

A bridge is a load bearing structure spanning a passage over a gap or barrier, such as a river or roadway. Some examples of bridge types are; suspension bridge (George Washington Bridge connecting New Jersey with New York City), truss arch bridge (Hurricane Deck Bridge in Hurricane Deck, Missouri), and a cable-stayed bridge (The modern Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Saint Petersburg). Another example is a cantilever bridge (the former Sunshine Skyway Bridge). Rarely do these structures ever have catastrophic

The considerations are is that the kids or young adults of the antelope valley area are able to go to colleges in san diego and back home to the AV in the matter of just minutes.

Tacoma Narrows Bridge One of the most influential engineering discoveries in the past century was the ill-fated Tacoma Narrows Bridge. “Galloping Gertie” as she was known to local residents, the massive Washington state suspension bridge shook, rattled and rolled its way into the history books. Legendary in its time, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge held many records and drew tourists from around the world in its short life. However, the famous bridge is not known for its creative engineering

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, was also known as the Galloping Gertie, was one of the most famous cause study of structure failure in the world. The idea for constructuring of the bridge came up in the date back to 1889 with a Northern Pacific Railway proposal for a trestle. Then after a few yerars of concreted and construction with the cost of over 6,400,000 dallors, the bridge was been build and became the third longest and the most flexible suspension bridge in the world of its time of 1900s with
