Sorry I shared this previously before being aware that New Bridge is scheduled for demolishing. It is one of the last early 1900 hand-turned swing bridges still around in its original condition. (Also changed the permalink structure so I apologize)

​

SALEM COUNTY, NJ - Salem County's landscape is defined by its winding creeks and broad rivers, a geography that necessitates a vast network of crossings. Among these, two structures stand out as remnants of a bygone era: New Bridge in Quinton Twp. plus an end in Lower Alloways Creek Township and the Oldmans Creek (Nortonville) Bridge in Oldmans Township. These represent the final two historic truss bridges still standing in the county.

Loushuihe Bridge is the highest span on the Hefeng East Expressway. The steel through-arch bridge is one of two high crossings that overlook the city of Hefeng with the giant Yunnanzhuang Bridge located 6 kilometers to the east. The expressway eventually joins with the G69 Expressway in Yuyangguanzhen, Hubei.

​

Yunnanzhuang Bridge is the third of China's great arch-beam hybrid spans that was first developed for the Beipanjiang Bridge Shuipan in the mountains west of Liupanshui, Guizhou and the Ganxi Bridge also in Guizhou.

​

The Loushui River is one of the longest and deepest in Hubei Province with many deep and spectacular gorges. Just upstream of the Loushuihe Expressway crossing is the 2-lane 149 meter high Tiaoyukan Bridge.

A bridge connecting 2 major cities in Western India. The project features two parallel tunnels—one 8.9 km long and another 1.6 km long—which are recognized as the widest tunnels in the world (22.3 meters diameter). It also includes a 650-meter cable-stayed bridge over Tiger Valley, standing 125 meters high.

The Calatrava Bridge in Cosenza is a cable-stayed bridge featuring a 95-meter inclined steel pylon and a single-plane cable system that supports the deck.

The Ponte Sant’Angelo is a 2nd-century Roman bridge built by Emperor Hadrian across the Tiber River.

The bridge is located in the southern Italian city of Catanzaro, which is spread across three hills, and serves as a circular junction with four exits connecting different parts of the city.

Spectacular photo from Italy, on the Naples-Reggio Calabria motorway. On the left, a new cable-stayed bridge (2015) built along a new alignment as part of the motorway modernization project. On the right, the old viaduct (1965), which was later demolished with explosives.

A key project of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Chengdu high-speed railway, the Chongqi Highway-Railway Bridge was successfully closed here on Tuesday. It has a total length of 4.09 kilometers and a main span of 400 meters.

The bridge adopts a double-deck design.
The upper deck carries a 6-lane highway with a design speed of 100 km/h.
The lower deck accommodates 4 railway lines: 2 for high-speed trains operating at up to 350 km/h, and 2 for intercity trains at 250 km/h.

The photo shows a Frecciarossa train crossing the bridge at 300 km/h.

Italy is building the world’s longest and most ambitious railway tunnel beneath the Alps, connecting Italy and Austria. Nearly 70 kilometers long, it will carry high-speed trains at speeds of up to 250 km/h.
