Connecting People, Places, and Possibilities
A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles—such as bodies of water, valleys, roads, or railways—without closing the way underneath. Bridges have been essential to human civilization for thousands of years, enabling trade, travel, and communication.
Engineers and architects have developed many bridge designs, each suited to different needs and environments:
San Francisco, USA – An iconic suspension bridge painted in "International Orange."
London, UK – Though often confused with Tower Bridge, it has a rich historical legacy.
Sydney, Australia – Nicknamed "The Coathanger," it’s one of the world’s largest steel arch bridges.
France – The tallest bridge in the world, soaring over the Tarn Valley.
Beyond their functional role, bridges symbolize connection, progress, and unity. They inspire art, literature, and engineering innovation. Modern sustainable bridge design also focuses on minimizing environmental impact while maximizing durability and safety.
