Following on from our previously posted double bridge and missed bridge, Google Sightseeing is proud to present, the double missed bridge!

Someone really needs to fire those engineers…

Thanks to alien_alan.

Here’s a great double bridge shadow in New Orleans. Weirdly, Google Maps labels both bridges as the Greater New Orleans Bridge, and they also both appear to carry the same highway. Does traffic only go one way on each perhaps?

Thanks: Andrew Harris.

Update: Jeff Richardson shared this brilliant info with us in the comments:

This will seem counter-intuitive, but the area on the left is called the “East Bank” and the area on the right is called the “West Bank.” Because the Mississippi river zigs and zags so much, there are areas on the East Bank that are actually west of the West Bank. If you zoom out enough you’ll see that this has to do with the fact that the river runs more or less West to East near New Orleans, even though the river obviously runs North to South across the country. Also, this is caused by the river’s S shape, which is the reason that New Orleans is called the Crescent City.

Thanks Jeff

This is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which is the replacement for the original one which famously collapsed on film in 1940 (the link is to the movie on Wikipedia in ogg format, there’s loads of statistics there too).

What’s really cool is the incredible angle on the West part of the bridge! Compare it to the East side, pretty crazy image huh? Cool shadow too.

Also, just to the West is the Tacoma Narrows Airport, which has some great large type, some cool looking planes, and should be well known to any Microsoft Flight Simulator lovers out there

Thanks to Scott Foster and Ivan M.

There appear to be some serious alignment issues with the Clark Bridge, which connects Missouri and Illinois. I certainly wouldn’t fancy trying to cross it!

Evidently this bridge was the subject of some documentary sometime… Good shadows further down it though.

Thanks: Turd Ferguson

Here’s an open drawbridge in Jacksonville, Florida. Pretty cool, anyone found any more?

Thanks: David Fletcher
