Crossed regularly in my salad days. Kingsgate Bridge, Durham.
Have you seen the pic of the car slung beneath it? I was told the uni had to ask the engineering students who got it up there how to get it done.

HTS where's that first one?
I love bridges, and there's some cracking photos here. There's a few bridges local to me that I like, but this one I'm particularly fond of:
[img] 
[/img]
It's called Double Bridge, and it's been carefully restored over the last few years by volunteers from the Wilts & Berks Canal Restoration group. In evening sunlight it glows a beautiful orange, and I love it.
not strictly a bridge....

MrNice - I was aware of the story. Before my time, though. Bit racy for Durham students, TBH..!

I used to pass this on a daily basis to and from the pub.
[img] 
[/img]
And used to live close to and often rode across this Roman Bridge.

I love this little bridge, it carries a footpath over the old Chippenham-Calne railway line, now part of Sustrans Route 403.

Several people have posted up pics of clapper bridges, so here's my local one over the Bybrook, near Castle Combe. God knows how old it is, centuries I guess. There used to be nineteen wool mills along this little river, plus a paper and rag mill. I've ridden and walked over this little bridge countless times over the years.

Pulteny Bridge, over Pulteny Wier, Bath, styled after bridges in Venice.

The second severn crossing, the design but also have become slightly obsessed with the colour to the extent of planning to get my new bike painted this shade.

Three pages in and no one has mentioned this yet? Yes, engineering rather than architecture but it is bonkers-big when you stand underneath it. 150 year old iron and it still has heavy goods and intercity on it.

Too much politics, but still looks good
And another classic viaduct

Here's another to celebrate
TSY, beat you by seconds, but your pic shows the bridge a lot better than mine. Geoffj, is that the Ribble Viaduct? It's beautiful, and a great photo too.

Yup, Ribblehead Viaduct. Not my picture though.

And my favorite wire crossing in Scotland was the one by Gerry's bunkhouse - just two wires. Always fun with a full bothy sac.
Another local one:

Not a great picture of the bridge, but it's those pointless decorative columns I wanted to show

A mate fell off this one when it was in a more skonky condition. Loch Pattack near Culra Bothy

Rion-Antirion Bridge in Greece, Saw if from the plane and drove over it on the way to Delphi.

What a fantastic thread this one's turned out to be! 🙂
Old photo of theTelford bridge at Conwy.

QE2 bridge at Dartford. If you want to cross it with a bike, a bloke in a Landrover comes and picks you and your bike up and takes you across. For free!

Poplar DLR station bridge (you've probbly seen this on tv shows and adverts):

I can see why!!!!! 😀

I love you. 😳
It's not Tuesday anymore, but I thought people in this thread might be interested in this:
The original bridge is fantastic, and this blokes modelling of it (over the next few pages) is incredible..

The High Bridge in Lincoln, England is the oldest bridge in the United Kingdom which still has buildings on it.[1] It was built about 1160 A.D. and a chapel built in 1235 dedicated to Thomas Becket was removed in 1762 with the current row of shops dating from 1550:

Still has a working tea shop on it. Fond memories of tea there as a youngster.
Another one from Tassie, the Batman Bridge over the Tamar.

A little photo I took of the suspension bridge in Bristol:

got this as an A0 poster in my dining room.
There is the odd south bridge in edinburgh - yes this is abridge

Already had this (St Ives, Cambs). But it is a very nice bridge, with its own chapel. (Shame about the photo, hand held, night, about 6 beers....)

Oooooooh.... nobodies posted this one yet! Devils Bridge in Kirby Lonsdale
[img] 
[/img]
Top tip: When jumping off Devils Bridge, tombstone style, don't look down. Its a fair old drop and your body weight pitches forward resulting in you busting your nose wide open when you hit the water, and possibly knocking you out. This results in you nearly drowning, then staggering out of the water pissing blood everywhere,getting your mates very very worried indeed 😳
I bloody love these threads. Good work Fred! 😆
Here is a bridge on the E31 in Germany, I have driven over this several times and must say its an awesome bridge to drive over and looks very impressive.
[img] 
[/img]
Blimey it's still alive! 🙂
I bloody love these threads. Good work Fred!
Cheers! Good fun though innit?
You get a pukka view of Manhattan from this; George Washington Bridge, New York:

The lovely Fingle Bridge, Dartmoor. The bridge is superb but the cream teas and the views from the pub next to it are equally as great.

You know what, I like motorway bridges like that. Simple, elegant and funktional.
Part of an old Victorian railway viaduct in Bow. [url= http://www.freston.net/stuff/ip-ferodo.html ]One of many, many bridges in Britain with 'Ferodo' emblazoned on them. [/url]

The Kawarau Bridge, near to Queenstown, New Zealand. Bonus poins as over 1 million people have thrown themselves off it attached only by an elastic band.
Had a ruddy hard ride to get this one, so I'm sticking it up despite mistakenly thinking this was the 'photo challenge' thread...

Is that a single leaf rolling bascule bridge similar to the one at Shadwell Basin, Ernie?
I think it is.
Here's another bascule bridge; 'Blue Bridge', Isle of Dogs:

Just remembered this one, a footbridge over the M4 near Chisledon, Swindon, that carries a Sustrans route down to Marlborough. Great fun to ride up and down the spirals.
