Living in Northern Italy I used to find the mountains quite oppressive. Can't imagine how I'd feel here. Would it even get sunlight?!

Pulteney Bridge in Bath, England

Pulteney Bridge is a bridge built in 1774 over the River Avon in Bath. Designed by Robert Adam, it was a rather unusual bridge as it was covered with shops designed in Palladian style. In fact,  it is one of four bridges in the world to have shops across its full span (the others being in Florence, Venice, and Erfurt).

I love a good bridge, we have a lot of "greats" in the UK.

 

Always admired Brunel's work.

Including these :-

 

The Flying Bridge in Moscow, Russia
The Soaring bridge is a thin airy V-shaped structure with a large outward extension above the water. The bridge protracts 70 meters without a single support. The bearing structure of the bridge is made of concrete and the decorative elements are made of metal; the deck is wooden. The construction withstands a load of 240 tons corresponding to three to four thousand people. High fences are installed so that no one can climb or jump over the sides of the bridge.

 

 

Huangjuewan Interchange, China
One look is just not enough to understand the complexity involved in the construction of this 20-road interchange that was built in China. Called the Huangjuewan flyover, this giant piece of infrastructure was partially opened to the public in 2017.

The region needed an interchange to connect the airport, the city, and an expressway. To get it done, the designers had to send cars through roads that span five levels, with the highest level being 12 stories tall, The interchange has 15 ramps, and the 20 lanes go in eight different directions. The total length of the roads at the interchange is estimated to be a little over 10 miles (16.4 km).

Good excuse for me to post this, I took this photo a couple of weeks ago, just along the coast from me in Spain

Somewhere I can't recall, in Norway. A far more hair-raising journey than it probably looks in the picture.

Edit, near Andalsnes, having checked my itinerary app.

When I drove trucks on my days off from EMAS, I had a Waitrose supermarket delivery to make on Anglesey. My satnav took me to this bridge. There was just enough room to get the cab and trailer through the arches but I had to get out and push the wing mirrors in to do it and that meant I couldn't see the trailer but I thought, just keep it straight and it'll be OK. I don't think the drivers behind my truck were very happy.
