	Forth Road Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Forth Road Bridge is a suspension bridge in east central Scotland.
		The Forth Bridges, with the road bridge crossing to the left of the rail bridge.
		With a complete closure of the existing Forth Road Bridge predicted by approximately 2020 without drastic action, there is a threat of serious economic consequences, due to the strategic importance of the bridge in the Scottish transport network and the estimated 10+ year timescale for construction of a replacement.

	Road Traffic Technology - Svinesund Road Bridge, Sweden / Norway
		The main span of the bridge between abutments is approximately 247m and consists of a single ordinary reinforced concrete arch carrying two steel box-girder bridge decks, one on either side of the arch.
		Bridge segments 24m long by 5m wide (fabricated in Germany and delivered by barge) were assembled and welded together in a launching station behind the southern abutment, before being pushed forward in sections of 75m.
		Road connections to the bridge were constructed by Vagverket Produktion (Nordy to border, 2km) and Mesta AS and Veidekke ASA (Svingenskogen to border, 4km).

		The Fulton Road Bridge in Cleveland OH, is a seventy-year-old concrete arch bridge.
		The Fulton Road Bridge was constructed in 1932 and consists of six 210-foot concrete open-spandrel castin-place deck arch spans and concrete approach spans.
		Since the bridge is very high over the valley, this would not prevent the use of normal structure depths for typical structures; however it does have an impact on the geometry of supporting arch ribs for deck arch structures.

	FORTH ROAD BRIDGE
		The Forth Road Bridge when opened, on 4 September 1964 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, was the largest suspension bridge in Europe, and, together with the approach viaducts is over 2½ km.
		Since the bridge was opened the permitted weight of commercial vehicle using the roads in this country has been increased from 24 tons to 44 tonnes.
		The total cost of the bridge including the approach roads consisting of 13 kilometres of dual carriageway, 13 kilometres of minor access roads and 24 minor bridges was £19,500,000 (~£250,000,000 today).

	Road Traffic Technology - Chao Phraya Bridges, Bangkok, Thailand
		The general contractor for the road and bridge project is CH Karnchang Public Company Ltd of Thailand (with a winning bid of 15.61 billion Baht).
		The bridge was originally planned as far back as 1997; however it was held up for a major redesign (reducing the number of support pillars to two instead of one), and almost cancelled following the Thai economic crisis in 2001.
		The bridge itself will be supported by two large 'A' shaped cable supports similar to the style and type used in the construction of the Rama 3 Bridge completed in 2003.

	Ashtabula County Ohio Covered Bridge Festival
		The Graham Road Bridge, which was built from remnants of a bridge washed downstream in the 1913 flood, now sits in a small park on the south side of the road.
		Containing 97,000 feet of southern pine and oak, the State Road Bridge was erected in 1983 across Conneaut Creek.
		The road at the east end of the bridge washed out in 1987, and a new concrete abutment was built for added support.

	The Forth Road Bridge Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		When it was opened in 1964 the Forth Road Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in Europe and the fourth longest in the world.
		At the time the bridge was finished, the maximum size of a vehicle on Scotland's roads was 24 tonnes, and this has since increased to 44 tonnes.
		As a result a campaign is under way to resurrect plans shelved in the mid 1990s to build a second road bridge across the Forth: the only real question being whether a new bridge could be planned and built before the shelf life on the current bridge expires.

		The soaring bridge, Virginia's tallest at 175 feet, was chosen from among 76 projects.
		In a salute to its location, the faces of the bridge's four-sided piers are inlaid with decorative "Hokie stone," a pink and blue limestone found on the campus buildings of nearby Virginia Tech.
		The concrete in the bridge's massive piers is twice as strong as most bridge decks require, and the reinforcing steel is twice as thick as the rebar used in most bridges.

	Paper Mill Road Bridge
		The existing bridge at this location is a well-known landmark; the distinctive arch truss designed early in the 20th century is one of a limited number of examples of steel bridges modeled after the Hell’s Gate Arch in New York City and three-hinged arch bridges within Maryland.
		The new bridge is a grand complement to the older bridge, which will serve as part of a future pedestrian hiker-biker trail.
		The new Paper Mill Road Bridge is a perfect companion to the existing historic structure, creating a striking overall appearance for this well-traveled yet environmentally sensitive area.

	Beyer Road Bridge Gugel Bridge though and pony truss near Frankenmuth Michigan over Cass River
		This bridge is one of two historic metal truss bridges restored in and near Frankenmuth mainly through the efforts of William "Tiny" Zehnder Jr., who was also credited with turning Frankenmuth into the unique German-themed town that it is today, and one of Michigan's top tourist destinations.
		The other bridge he restored is the Dehmel Road Bridge, which is proudly relocated near M-83 for all to see.
		His death is a sad event for the historic bridge community, but these beautiful restored bridges stand as monuments to his efforts as much as they are monuments to the companies that originally built them a century ago.
