Congratulations guys! 😉
It’s an honor just to be nominated. ;P
lol! You’re all winners to us ironcladlou 😀
The Fred Hartman bridge in Baytown, Texas is actually not the tallest bridge any more, the title was taken over in 2004 by the Viaduc de Millau Bridge in the south of France.
The Viaduc de Millau is so awesome. you all should see it.
actually, the fred hartman bridge is NOT a suspension bridge, it is a cable-stayed bridge. cable-stayed bridges are considerably cheaper to build than suspension bridges, which add to their popularity in modern construction.
Adjacent to the Fred Harman bridge are what remains of an old tunnel that it replaced.
