Millau viaduct, France

 

Driven over that in my RHD car. Looking out of the driver side window is a knee-weakening experience. I have a fear of heights which didn't help

I can imagine. Almost doesn't look strong enough for its height, like a gust of wind would snap it.

I've jumped off this one, and will be getting a tattoo of it soon, plus the Falls obviously.

'Spaghetti Junction', Birmingham. 

 

I worked on that. The river diversion in the upper left was my contribution. Known as Salford Park groundworks.

@Wymsey Not like you to scoff mate. That was bloody hard work

Its really quite remarkablke how much worse it looks from here, compared to when you are on it. Having said that, the day i was driving back home to Measham from Birmingham in the fog, took a wrong exit and ended up on the way to Wolverhampton suggests it can be a bastard

Yanjin, China . The narrowest city in the world.

It just doesn't look safe. In fact, I googled the area on maps to have a nose around, and they seem pretty open about the quality of their building materials....

Was this taken during covid lockdown?

 

There is no traffic at all on that road.

Got the train to Malmo from Copenhagen over that for a day out during our European tour. 

 

I didn't realise how big the Queen Elizabeth bridge was until I went over it last year. The Humber Bridge is another one, until you are on it you don't really appreciate the size.

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.

Thats the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The Menai Straits Suspension Bridge (A5) is very similar in design/brickwork. Easily confusable, both go over water

I’d give multiple reps to any bridge that managed Denmark to Norway!!!
