	Context for World Heritage Bridges
		Bridges in areas other than Europe and the USA should be investigated, as the colonial empires of several nations were at their peak during the autumn years of the 19th century.
		This bridge, designed by E H Duggan and Phelps Johnson with Ralph Modjeski as consultant, was criticized by many engineers as being the ugliest, while the cantilever was generally regarded as a type, especially those of American origin, whose profile was unsightly despite their record lengths.
		The first major reinforced-concrete bridge in the United Kingdom was the Royal Tweed Bridge (1928), made up of four rhythmic open- spandrel arches filled with vertical posts increasing in span from 167ft (51m) to 361ft (110m) as the roadway climbs from low to high embankments on each side of the river.

		The gurgling in the background was the cackle of "Bubbly Creek," a torpid offshoot of the Chicago River that got its name from the fermenting animal carcasses and offal in its slow-moving waters.
		The area was renamed Bridgeport in the 1840s, when a bridge was built across the Chicago River at Ashland Avenue, forcing barges to unload on one side and reload on the other.
		Dooley said, was the selection of "a Polacker" to tend the famous "red bridge," which joined Bridgeport to the rest of the city, thereby placing control of the neighborhood in the hands of a non-Hibernian.

	American Icon: Incorporating Tension in the Brooklyn Bridge
		The Brooklyn bridge, a physical link between Brooklyn and New York, is a tangible symbol of the shift from agriculture to industry in the late nineteenth century.
		However, the bridges Washington built across the Rappahannock and Shenandoah rivers also contributed to his rapid ascent from private to colonel: by mid-century an engineer was worthy of promotion to officer.
		John sold the bridge project to New York in a manner Washington probably could not have mustered, and credit for the extraordinary design of the arched towers must be given to the elder Roebling, as well.

		From the Tweed Ring to the Whitewater we see a major shift in the definition of morality, from outright unabashed stealing to questionable judgements--and that took about 150 years.

		Construction commenced on 18 September 1822 under the direction of Captain Samuel Brown, who had designed the Union suspension bridge over the Tweed and a smaller chain pier at Newhaven near Edinburgh in 1821.
		On 24 November 1824 the toll-house was swept away during a storm, but worse was to follow on 15 October 1833 when the pier itself was struck by lightning resulting in a disastrous fire; the second and third bridges were destroyed, but a public subscription raised £1,300 to repair and strengthen the structure.
		Another storm on 29 November 1836 caused the centre bridges to oscillate and the third bridge eventually fell into the sea, but the pier was once again repaired.
