 | | The Fred Hartman Bridge near Houston, Texas is a cable-stayed bridge with a very unusual double-diamond design for its pylons, each of the two roadways passing through the widest part of each diamond. |
 | | The longest bridges in the world, with an overall length of nearly twenty-four miles each, are the two parallel bridges (each being actually made up of over two thousand of smaller spans) across Lake Pontchartrain, connecting the city of New Orleans to I-12 and Covington. |
 | | The bridge, which opened in 1951, is the replacement for the famous original suspension bridge which collapsed due to resonance in winds of only 40 miles per hour a few months after its completion in 1940. |
