		This bridge is located about 1/2 mile south of Wigan North Western station and was initially built in the middle of the last century to carry the West Coast main line over the River Douglas.

	Bridge or no bridge, Port Maria would have been flooded anyway - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Bridge and drainage designs are based on the flows to be carried for an event of a certain return period viz 10, 15, 25 or 50 year.
		For a bridge, the gauged stream flow data from the river is analysed to generate the flows for the design period.
		Where no gauged stream flow data is available to guide the design of the bridge or drainage system, a computer model of the rainfall/runoff relationship can be executed.

		He got weaker and the human held him more often, leaving the littermates to sleep in a pile while he got caressed and kissed, and got to listen to the heartbeat which was strong and loving.
		He pushed the air out of his lungs, floated back to the Rainbow Bridge and looked back at the human, who was still crying and holding the limp body that he had borrowed for his trip.

		During an investigation by the state, Engineer A states that her report was intended merely to identify what she viewed were potential problems with the safety of the bridge and was not intended to be conclusive as to the safety of the bridge.
		Section II.3.c.:"Engineers shall issue no statements, criticisms or arguments on technical matters which are inspired or paid for by interested parties, unless they have prefaced their comments by explicitly identifying the interested parties on whose behalf they are speaking, and by revealing the existence of any interest the engineers may have in the matters."

	WSDOT - Tacoma Narrows Bridge: Extreme History
		The bridge became famous as "the most dramatic failure in bridge engineering history." Now, it's also "one of the world's largest man-made reefs." The sunken remains of Galloping Gertie were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 to protect her from salvagers.
		The current bridge is the 5th longest suspension bridge in the United States.
		In 1998 the public was asked, "Should the Tacoma Narrows Bridge be modified and a parallel bridge constructed, financed by tolls on bridge traffic and operated as a public-private partnership?" A majority of the voters answered "Yes." Since then, WSDOT and Tacoma Narrows Contractors (TNC) have been developing plans for the new bridge.

	The Bridge at No Gun Ri
		It was a story no one wanted to hear: Early in the Korean War, villagers said, American soldiers machine-gunned hundreds of helpless civilians, under a railroad bridge in the South Korean countryside.
		Teen-aged riflemen and young officers with no combat experience were thrust overnight into a hellish war, told to expect guerrilla fighting and be wary of the tens of thousands of South Korean civilians pouring south with retreating Americans.
		But old soldiers in their late 60s or 70s identified the No Gun Ri bridge from photographs, remembered the approximate dates, and corroborated the core of the Koreans’ account: that American troops kept the refugees pinned under the bridge in late July 1950, and killed almost all of them.

	Executive Summary :: South Fork Merced River Bridge Replacement Project
		The South Fork Bridge was constructed in 1931 as a triple-span, steel-girder, deck bridge supported by spread concrete footings, two unreinforced cement rubble in-stream piers, and two unreinforced cement rubble abutments.
		The structural integrity and safety of the bridge was further degraded by the January 1997 flood, which increased scouring around the piers and abutments.
		Controlled bridge removal and construction of a single-span bridge would restore the free-flowing condition to the South Fork of the Merced River, thereby enhancing both its biologic and hydrologic integrity.

	Gateshead Millennium Bridge by Wilkinson Eyre
		Gateshead Millennium Bridge is one of several linked regeneration projects along 'Gateshead Quays', and plays the essential role of linking this area accessibly to the center of Newcastle.
		The simplicity of the idea, and the geometry of the curves at each stage of the bridge's move (and in its rest state) are superbly elegant.
		It is the bridge's design that requires these guide posts, but they show no sign of having been anticipated or treated as part of the esthetic design of the structure, which is a pity.

		Bridge is all about counting the cards, and this article aims to give an introduction to the basics, then to discuss the matter a little more deeply.
		There are two points I am making here: (a) There are no high and low cards - it depends what your holding is. For example, with 432 the 4 is a higher card, whilst with 1098, the eight is a lower card.
		With 22 IMPs this board, there was no recovery from this, and we eased into the semifinals, to meet a team clearly well past it - Rowlands, Lee, Lunn and O'Neil, from Surrey.
