Wikipedia notes that "most bridges consist of a flat deck, supported by beams, arches, or cables," and the material chosen shapes how long a structure lasts and what it can carry. Browsing by material lets a visitor compare structures built the same way even when they serve very different routes.FactsSteelSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1300 BCE 1SteelFilter Results9 entriesInfrastructure TypeAllArch, Cantilever and Girder Bridges (3)Cable-Stayed Bridges (1)Suspension Bridges (5)ModeAllRail Transport (2)Road Transport (8)Completion EraAll1826 (1)1883 (1)1890 (1)1894 (1)1932 (1)1937 (1)1964 (1)1998 (1)2004 (1)LocationAllAustralia (1)France (1)United States (1)StatusAllOperational (9)Heritage DesignationAllInternationally Recognized (World Heritage) (1)Locally or Regionally Designated (1)Nationally Designated Heritage Site (3)Operated ByAllCity Bridge Foundation (1)Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (1)Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Expressway Company (1)MTA Bridges and Tunnels (1)Network Rail (1)New York City Department of Transportation (1)Transport for NSW (1)Invented ByAllJohn Augustus Roebling (1)Thomas Telford (1)Pioneered ByAllBenjamin Baker (1)Horace Jones (1)John Augustus Roebling (1)John Bradfield (1)John Wolfe Barry (1)Joseph Strauss (1)Othmar Ammann (1)Thomas Telford (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 9Akashi Kaikyo BridgeSteelBrooklyn BridgeSteelForth BridgeSteelGolden Gate BridgeSteelMenai Suspension BridgeSteelMillau ViaductSteelSydney Harbour BridgeSteelTower BridgeSteelVerrazzano-Narrows BridgeSteelSources1.
