Through Arch Bridge - Notable Examples

Notable Examples

One of the most famous bridges of this type is the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, which is based on the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City, USA. Other bridges include the iconic Tyne Bridge of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK; the Bayonne Bridge in New Jersey, USA, which is longer than the Sydney Harbour Bridge, as well as the smaller, near-twin Bourne Bridge and Sagamore Bridge over the Cape Cod Canal; and the Pennybacker Bridge in Austin, Texas, USA. Wylam Railway Bridge is an early example of a through arch bridge which can be found upstream of the Tyne Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or examples:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
