The World of Bridges

Show Description: Bridges are cultural monuments. Their construction has completely changed over history and impacted the lives of everybody that uses them.

The Ponte dei Salti in the Verzasca Valley in Ticino is a major draw for tourists, who jump down from the bridge into the crystal-clear mountain waters.

The Krämerbrücke is a symbol of the city of Erfurt and the longest bridge in Europe to feature buildings across its entire structure.

The Nordkasteel Bridge in the port of Antwerp, the second largest bridge in Europe, does more than transport goods and people within the port area.

The Millau Viaduct in the south of France is one of the highest bridge structures in the world and succeeds a formerly arduous journey through the wide valley of the Tarn River.

Following its completion in 1988, the Great Seto Bridge finally connected the islands of Honshu and Shikoku, thereby ending the isolation of the smaller Shikoku from the Japanese mainland.
