Bridge 126, and Bill heads out on the A6 via Barker's Bridge to amass a total of three and a half furlongs for the day

Obviously, it's tricky to break into a Plumtree run and not feel like you've ruined something special, but I can't believe this bridge hasn't featured yet (recently).

About time an'all! By way of a contrast, 125 is the magnificently-named Bolton Cinder Ovens Bridge

out of which, at some time, someone has taken a dirty great big lump

Can't hope to match Bill's beautifully crafted series, but here's a few from Cantabria.

Manet or Monet?

Acequia aqueduct

Simplicity

Bonus points for random cyclist in Potes

Potes

Potes again

Potes again, again.

Puente Viesgo, in Puente Viesgo

This one deserves an award for 'Best Use of Laminated Timber Beam' River Pas

From afar

San Vicente de la Barquera

The really long one at San Vicente

Near Santander, over the Rio Cubas, between Somo and Pedreña

Some top bridging there, Mr 653

Blimey! You don't get that sort of thing on the Lancaster canal...

Instead, you get a sweet little come-hither thing like 124, Chorley's Bridge

124 by billplumtree, on Flickr

which beckons you onwards

Can I play?

Old railway bridge around. Grotton & Saddleworth

May not count but small one @ Dovestones reservoir

billplumtree · « **Reply #1635 on:** 30 August, 2015, 04:53:34 pm »

May not count? It's a lot bridgier than some of the scraggy planks across puddles that I've posted!

123, Bolton Turnpike Bridge

I posted a picture of a tunnel last year but I think I got away with it

121, the miserable stained concrete affair that is Town End Bridge

(I didn't like it. Can you tell?)

billplumtree · « **Reply #1640 on:** 01 September, 2015, 08:20:51 pm »

To make up for 121, here's a bonus second bridge today. That and I'm off on holibobs tomorrow, so there will be a short interlude before we continue on our bridgely ways to Lancaster and Kendal.

120, Hest Bank Swing ~~Band~~ Bridge

Right, this is cheating a bit. I've driven past this new viaduct a few times on the A66 motorway between Cáceres and Plasencia in Extremadura. Until now, only with an ever-shrinking gap in the middle. You get a couple of brief glimpses of the new AVE (high speed train) viaduct over the river Tagus but it's all to brief and too far away to get a good shot, certainly not while driving! However, yesterday this picture appeared in the local paper, Hoy (i.e. Today) so picture credit to them. I get nil points for the pic, snapped with my phone, with the paper on my knee. Anyway, I thought the 'viaduct in waiting' was elegant and interesting enough to merit sharing with CrinklyLion and all bridge fans.

What have the Romans ever done for us? Well, not the Pont Roman in Nyons.

Nice find Jurek! Beats the phone snap into a cocked hat... Video from late last year. The 342m concrete arch is now complete, but still needs the deck for the rail lines atop.

A bit of a slow start this year, but now we're off...

Above two are the Nass River bridge over Highway 37, south of Meziadin Lake BC.

Highway 16 over J Random River east of Prince George BC.

I though this one was a half-collapsed Sheds at first but it isn't, as you can't drive a pickup over a half-collapsed Sheds without turning it into a fully-collapsed Sheds.
