I love bridges - and there's so many cool bridges around the world. It's estimated that there are around 600,000 bridges around the world - and this collection features my favorites. One of my college professors, at the start of every class, showed us a picture of a different bridge. Many of these bridges ended up in this collection, but this has many more!
Each placemark has a picture, extra info about the bridge, link to more information, and if available, street view imagery included. There are 501 bridges in the collection!
The collection is split into 7 subfolders:
Unique Bridges (156) - the most interesting, coolest, weirdest, scariest, etc. bridges around the world.
Oldest Bridges (40) - the oldest bridges from around the world. Includes oldest of each type of bridge, from each region of the world, etc.
Highest Bridges
Tallest (16) - i.e. the bridges whose physical structure is the tallest from the base of the bridge
Highest (12) - i.e. the bridges that are the highest from the top of the bridge to the lowest point beneath the bridge
Moveable Bridges (39) - i.e. bridges that move on their own, usually to let ships pass through. Sorted by type of bridge (12 different types)
Longest Bridges
Main Span (42) - i.e. the longest bridge based on the length of the main/central span, separated by bridge type
Overall (27) - i.e. longest bridges overall. I've traced the path of the bridges to highlight their lengths
Bridges to Nowhere (145) - bridges that seem to end abruptly and go nowhere
Visible Bridge Failures (24) - bridges that have failed and can be seen on Google Earth, spanning from 2005-2022
