Bridges are some of the most awesome and breathtaking constructions, both from a visual standpoint and from an engineering standpoint.

These structures provide a stark contrast with nature suspended over huge bodies of water and almost appearing to defy gravity.

When one looks at some of the longest bridges in the U.S., it becomes clear how incredibly complex they are to build and right, considering they need to both stay in the air and hold innumerable tons of vehicles with multiplebpassengers every single day as their function.
