With the recent collapse of the I35 Bridge in my area I've been thinking about bridges a good deal lately. I think for many, bridges conjure up thoughts of romance, serenity and beauty. In all your travels, what is the most memorable bridge you've ever crossed?

Not one that anybody would ever think of as being memorable. It's a little one on a gravel road that spans the Maquoketa River out in the country here. We call it Supple's Bridge. We used to go out there in high school and jump off of it into the river. Great memories each time I cross it.

Probably several. The Golden Gate in San Francisco is probably the most recognized bridge I've been on but also the bridge in San Diego leading to Coronado Island towering over 200 feet above the harbor. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel connecting Virginia with Maryland and Delaware; the Mackinaw bridge between lower and upper Michigan and the bridge connecting Port Huron, Michigan with Sarnia, Ontario. All of these bridges are very impressive and marvels of construction. On a smaller scale, even the Cedar Street Bridge in Peoria crossing the Illinois River is quite impressive climbing to a height of maybe 100 feet above the river.

Cleveland is a city of many bridges and not a thought that can be far from our minds. As such, there isn't a lot of romance connected to them in my mind, but there is a recollection of stark fucking terror when as a very young and dumb and full of cum kid, a couple of us took a dare and did some climbing on one of these.

The bridge that first comes to mind as an 'attraction' for me is Royal Gorge bridge in Colorado. It is 1,200 ft. above the river and made ours look scrawny.

Man arrested for stealing bridge Fri Aug 31, 10:47 AM ET

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian police have detained a 45-year-old municipal worker for stealing a bridge.

The 5-meter span metal bridge disappeared from a river crossing in the Ryazan region, east of Moscow. Police said they tracked it down to the man, who had used his work truck to remove it and then chopped it up and sold it for scrap.

In a statement, Ryazan region police called it "the bulkiest theft of the year."

I understand that is not an uncommon problem for railroad trestles in some of the outback of Oz.

I'm don't do very well with heights and some bridges are a bit intimidating for me, I thought driving across that dam was going to kill me.

The Portsmouth Bridge to me means I'm going to see a neighbor.

It's funny, though. Not that it's beautiful or breath-taking, but the Kennedy bridge, crossing the Ohio between Kentucky and Indiana, gives me the same feeling of "home."

I don't know if it's still like that,but I used to live in Ports & have a motorcycle
shop there.The grates on that bridge,are so crooked that if you start on one
side of the bridge(on a motorcycle),that by the time that you reach the other
side,you will be completly accross the lane.I'm referring to the bridge that goes from Ports(State ST)to Kittery.Not the interstate! Irish
P.S.Just FYI(not a complaint)

"Bridge Crossings" Be they; romantic,serene, or even sur-real,to "bridge", is to connect two points,divided by a spacial gap,ie;road to road, concious to sub-concious, light side to Dark side, Pleasure to Pain, point A to point B, is merely that transitional place where 2 are joined as 1 continual..each crossing memorable to each person unto themselves,But far and beyond the most memorable "Bridge" is the "Bridges that We BURN". Those are the most affecting,due to once crossed,like it or not, there will be NO crossing back...and so,,,there you are,,,take care of one another....Crazeee

The bridges burned sear our souls. The effect leaves a void for some and a scar for others and a place where new bridges can be built for a rare few. I've learned to not burn my bridges. Rather, I hold dear the fonder of memories and try to realize a new wisdom in the pains of my passing less favored thoughts.

Adage: 2 things are certain in life; Death & Taxes. Therefore; God & Beelzebub had a meeting to fix the problem. A mighty storm prevailed for ages until finally they ended the storm with the agreement: From now on Anyone whom chooses doesn't have to die. "Everyone wins said Beelzebub. You get an eternally grateful bunch of worshippers praying forever for lower taxes as I goad & prod them forever with higher & higher taxation."

We cross many Bridges in our lives,some repeatedly,some but once,,,,I think the most influential Bridge in our lives we cross,we cross continuely,In fact you are crossing yours at this very moment,as I...Its this Bridge between reality and Cyber, we cross it with this "PC" vehicle,most dont realize the spatial distance,time and generations crossed with a single keystroke,or click of a mouse.Not to mention the incomprehensible union of digital media science,providing each of us with information, that is sometimes the most cutting edge, up to the moment knowledge available, and yet can be wisedom of the ages,timeless, going back thousands of years and bringing us history of the periods inquired of,ie; images of cave drawings,from the dawn of man, quotations of great philosophers,like Plato,centuries old art influences like Da Vinci, Mysteries of ancient civilizations,the great Pyramids,aztec ruins,providing a great "Bridge"of knowledge, Which quite possibly is the most memorable "Bridge" thus far....Be kind to each other...Crazeee

But will anyone remember this one?
