The picturesque bridge in Moscow is one of the most beautiful bridges in Russia and the highest cable-stayed bridge in Europe. It is a miracle of engineering. This bridge is called the bridge a "flying saucer REGISTRY-restaurant".1.5 km in length (almost a kilometer of the route passes completely over the Moscow River), 40 meters wide, 105 meters high (arch height). And the length of the main span is more than 400 meters.

[This bridge had to be re-built during 2017 due to being damaged during the Boxing Day flooding of 2015.]

Happy :Sliders Sunday!
The bridge is not as scary to cross as it looks, It's at the Disney Animal Kingdom and I was on a tether. See my photo they took below in comments.
Tower Bridge (built 1886–1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England which crosses the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name, and has become an iconic symbol of London.
The bridge consists of two bridge towers tied together at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical components of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid greenish-blue colour. (Wikipedia)

The Kurilpa Bridge (originally known as the Tank Street Bridge) is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The bridge connects Kurilpa Point in South Brisbane to Tank Street in the Brisbane central business district. In 2011, the bridge was judged World Transport Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival.
Baulderstone Queensland Pty Ltd constructed the bridge and the company’s design team included Cox Rayner Architects and Arup Engineers. The bridge was opened on 4 October 2009 by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.
Kurilpa Bridge is the world’s largest hybrid tensegrity bridge. Only the horizontal spars conform to tensegrity principles.
A public competition was held to decide on a new name for the bridge. On 23 November 2008 it was announced that the winning entry was Kurilpa Bridge. The name reflects the Australian Aboriginal word for the South Brisbane and West End area, and means "place for water rats".
Die Tower Bridge zählt zu meinen Lieblingsgebäuden und ist wohl einer der Hauptgründe wieso ich bereits zum zweiten Mal nach London gereist bin.
The Tower Bridge is one of my favorite buildings and is probably one of the main reasons why I am already traveled to London for the second time.

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of Edinburgh City Centre. It is considered an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland (having been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder in 2016), and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. It is sometimes referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge to distinguish it from the Forth Road Bridge, though this has never been its official name.
Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay, the future Edward VII. The bridge spans the Forth between the villages of South Queensferry and North Queensferry and has a total length of 8,094 feet (2,467 m). When it opened it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world, until 1919 when the Quebec Bridge in Canada was completed. It continues to be the world's second-longest single cantilever span, with a span of 1,709 feet (521 m).

Pulteney Bridge crosses the River Avon in Bath, England. It was completed by 1774, and connected the city with the land of the Pulteney family which they wished to develop. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides. (Wikipedia)

"Eleven men. Until February 17, 1937, there had been only one fatality, setting a new all-time record in a field where one man killed for every million dollars spent had been the norm. On February 17, ten more men lost their lives when a section of scaffold carrying twelve men fell through the safety net."
Probably a very cliche shot of the bridge and St Pauls but too good to miss with the interesting light
