Note On Classification
Bridges are particularly difficult to classify as they, more than other structures, are subject to wear, war and the impact of natural elements. The constant need for repairs through the ages has often turned bridges into hybrid structures, which make it often difficult or nearly impossible to determine the exact date and origin of individual parts of a bridge. Thus, the majority of the bridges listed below can be assumed to include medieval or (early) modern modifications, replacements or extensions, to a small or large extent.

Famous quotes containing the word note:
“A note as from a single place,
A slender tinkling fall that made
Now drops that floated on the pool
Like pearls, and now a silver blade.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
