The World of Bridges

The Millau Viaduct in the south of France is one of the highest bridge structures in the world while the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which stands high over the River Dee in northeast Wales, was built in the 19th century.

One of the most impressive steel bridges in the world can be found in Calcutta: the Howrah Bridge. Its predecessor is the Forth Bridge across the Firth of Forth, near the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.

The Great Seto Bridge in Japan and the Victoria Falls Bridge in Zimbabwe have more than one thing in common: they were built on dreams and are the only train connections between the two regions.
