Giant Constructions

Road bridges: gigantic constructions of modern road traffic. Europa and Ganter Bridge, Öresund bridge, Sunshine Skyway and Viaduct de Millau.

Moving Bridges: Exotic milestones on moveable infrastructure. Historically significant: the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge and the Michigan Avenue bridge. Mechanically unique: the Pont Jacques, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge or the Scale Lane Bridge.

Suspension bridges - impressively wide and stretched high over supporting cables or stay cables. The landscape-shaping icons: The superlative Golden Gate, Akashi Kaikyo, Aizaih, El Baluarte and Russky Bridge.

Steel bridges are extremely durable and multifunctional, fascinating not only due to its gigantic size but also because of the army of workers keeping the bridges in shape: whether on the historical landmark in Sydney or ultramodern mega bridges in China.

Railway bridges fascinate through different construction methods from masonry, truss-beam bridges to steel-concrete arch bridge. Heavier loads, faster speeds, more frequently: trains speed over bridges and the maintenance teams face ever larger challenges.
