Three Bridges is a neighbourhood within the town of Crawley, in the county of West Sussex in England.
Three Bridges was a tiny hamlet, which first began to grow with the coming of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1841.
Three Bridges continues to be the site of an important rail station at the intersection of the London to Brighton line and the London to Portsmouth Line (via Horsham), but the branch line to East Grinstead closed in the mid 1960s.

 Mark Ketchum's Carquinez Strait Bridge Page
The cable-stayed and suspension bridge options were further developed during this period, to incorporate a wider deck and structural changes to enhance economy and performance.
The suspension bridge alternative was selected for final design and construction, based on superior seismic performance, shorter construction schedule, less risk of ship impact due to fewer number of piers in the water, less maintenance on cable system, better aesthetics, and less construction risk.
Seismic performance of the bridge was validated by comprehensive inelastic computer modeling under propagating incoherent wave fields from a suite of earthquakes, and verifying that stringent limits on strains in concrete, rebar and structural steel were not exceeded.

 "One in three bridges in DC metro region need improvement "
These bridges no longer meet modern design standards for safety features such as lane widths or alignment with connecting roads or no longer are adequate for the volume of traffic being carried.
Keeping bridges in good condition can be enhanced by the use of improved maintenance practices and the use of improved construction materials.
The more critical safety problem of older bridges is that they often do not meet current safety standards for lane widths and street and highway approaches (alignments) that may reduce the safety of the bridge.

As Three Bridges United, the club achieved senior status in 1952 when they became founder members of the newly formed Division Two of the Sussex County Football League.
Bridges were the best supported club in the County League in 2003/04 and 2004/05 (remarkable given their proximity to Crawley Town), but lost their crown to Eastbourne Town in 2005/06 as attendances dropped for the second season in succession in the light of some disappointing form.
Bridges may have reached the semi-finals of the RUR Charity Cup in 2005/06 (lost to Whitehawk), but manager Ali Rennie will definately be looking for a big improvement on their League form, as their final position of 15th clearly illustrates.

 Three Sisters (Pittsburgh) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Three Sisters are historically significant because they are the only trio of nearly identical bridges, as well as the first self-anchored suspension spans, built in the United States.
Note that a large driving force for these bridges all being done at once was that the predecessor bridges were all not in compliance with War department restrictions on bridges crossing navigable waters (of which the Allegheny and Monongahela, not to mention the Ohio, included)...
The Seventh Street Bridge was razed in 1924, and the War Department forced the razing of the 9th as well, despite the inconvenience to the city.

As Ales and I joined the throngs of people going to or coming from the main market across the Three Bridges, we were now encumbered not only with two empty wicker baskets and two over-exuberant toddlers but with a stroller filled to the brim with an infant boy born on the last day of March.
On the market side of the river, where the bridge could be said to begin, the three segments are contiguous, almost touching one another.
And the bridge that held the picture together, which led across the waters to the pleasing totality of the market, was more than a mere conveyance.

The vertical lift railroad bridge, with a 544 foot horizontal span, was constructed close to the western end of the land cut, near the site of the old bridge.
The Massachusetts governor lavished praise on the entire Canal project, stating: "The construction of these beautiful bridges and the expenditure of nearly $40,000,000 for the development of this inland waterway is bound to contribute to the happiness and well being of the people of Massachusetts."

Richardson worked on bridges other than the Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Street projects and did not know who actually proposed the self-anchored suspension design for the trio, but his knowledge of the staff's workings led him to presume that Wilkerson, the consulting engineer, was responsible.
Robinson used similar towers on the Rondout Bridge at Kingston, New York, which was constructed in 1922 and used a stiffening truss that functioned apart from the towers.
These bridges are unique in the United States for the clustering of three similar bridges in such close proximity, their place as the first American self-anchored suspension bridges, and as significant examples of eye-bar suspension bridges.
