OK.....More out of the way bridges keep coming to mind so will share. A few from our road trip to Canada a couple of years ago & another from Roatan in the Caribbean plus one very old bridge in Hawaii.
We really enjoyed driving from East to West on the Trans-Canada Highway. It was built so people could travel safely through the Rocky Mountains. But it turned out to be the end of safe travel for the animals! So they got smart and created along this highway 44 wildlife crossing structures. Most go under the highway. 6 cross over it....as in bridges! Wished I had captured more pictures, but traveling at 70 MPH....limits what one has time to capture! Also.....not a lot of places to turn around & go back. Please enjoy. Bob

(1) Notice the plants & trees on top of this bridge plus wiring so the animals can safely cross the Trans-Canada Highway.

(2) Near days end we were hungry and discovered this wooden foot bridge as we headed to dinner at The Train Station Restaurant in the background. We were in the Lake Louise area.

(3) Another inviting little foot bridge at Bow Lake while heading into Banff.

(4) Same little bridge facing the other direction. 50 years ago we actually spent one of our honeymoon nights there! We were driving along the Hwy & wondered if we were going to find a place when we spotted their red roof in the distance!

(5) One of those off the road exciting discoveries! This bridge crosses the Snaring River & the road dead ended about a mile beyond this bridge. We were between Jasper & Banff.

(6) During a Caribbean cruise we walked this bridge for snacks & some entertainment while on Roatan's West End.

(7) This old Hawaiian neighborhood bridge is located off the Old Pali Road on Oahu. It crosses over a lush ravine.

(8) ALOHA.......

So many beautiful, unique bridges and so little time to comment today. If I didn't get to yours, just know I looked and enjoyed. Thanks to those who noticed mine. I travel this bridge almost daily. The original was a wooden covered bridge that was swept away in raging floods of 1937. It was replaced by the 1st green bridge which rusted away despite many repairs, A couple years ago it was replaced by a new bridge - not very picturesque but much safer. It passes over a major river which starts in the White Mountains of NH and threads its way to the ocean. Along the way are many hydro dams with rather precarious looking "walkway bridges" for the workers. This is what it looks like in winter - it would look like this tonight in the current storm, but I wasn't going out!
