Bridges for CrinklyLion (and everyone else!)

[David Martin]

A bridge that has appeared here before, but this time drawn by my mum.

Much bridgery this summer.

To kick off, one of the many bridges on the river/canal system between Mons and Geraardsbergen

[Mr Larrington]

A better Bridge Day today:

Not sure what's on top of these, which were taken from the same spot on CA-190 in the southern Sierra Nevada.  Some kind of (disused) narrow-gauge railway would be my best guess, but I'll be blowed if I can find which one.


This one carries Mountain Road 99 over, IIRC, the Tule River

ahh, the joys of vicarious armchair touring! Looks like you found the Springville Flume, supplying water to Springville since 1908

[Mr Larrington]

In spite of the myriad water supply wossnames I've encountered in southern Stullifornia over the past few days, that never occurred to me.

Thx

Culvert carrying an un-named beck under US-395 near Independence, CA.

Is that the one in the background of this pic north of Ath?

Dardanelles Bridge, carrying CA-108 over the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River, in the Sierra Nevada between Sonora and Sonora Pass.
Top photo is the old bridge mad mostly of wood; new one is directly behind it.

[Mr Larrington]

CA-89 0ver unknown creek, Lassen Volcanic National Park, California

[Mr Larrington]

Disused railroad bridge across OR-140, South Poe Valley Road and (I think) Lost River, near Klamath Falls, OR


Squint very hard to see the culvert taking this under a rough track and out into the Nevada desert, never to be seen again.  Rest Area RP-806, on NV-140.

[Mr Larrington]

Double-barrelled culvert near the start of the full Battle Mountain sprint course, NV-305

The nearest thing to a bridge you'll find within five miles, and we did that bridge to DETH last year.  There is a bridge over the Humboldt River in the middle of town, and Maria in reception says there's even some water in the said river, so I suppose I should go and have a look some time.  But not today coz I'm falling asleep and it's only 15:20 chiz.

[CrinklyLion]

All bridges are Good Bridges 

[Mr Larrington]

The culvert is right next to the Grassy Knoll at the start of the long course.  This is the eleventh time I've come here since 2002 and I never knew either existed until yesterday

Could be, but they all seemed to be the same design round there.

Road bridge across the Elbe just south of Verden.




Former railway line N of the Elbe near Altengamme




Bzzzt! Repetition! Same bridge I went over last year with swarm_catcher. Close inspection suggests it's crumbling away.





The middle section




Another danish bridge



The bridge from the German mainland onto the island of Fehmarn



and on said bridge





Danish footbridge not far from Helsingor (aka Elsinore)



Bridge at Hillerød. Shame about the scaffolding.



and again



Bridge at Fredrikssund across Roskilde Fjord



Rather obligingly a yacht wanted to  get through when I was there.



stay tuned for further scandinavian bridgery.

[Salvatore]

Somewhere in southern Sweden



Bridge across the Göta Canal



Not sure where, but on the cycle path to Falkoping


Near the village of Skottlanda



A bridge next to a shed, Sweden



A bit further north, this one:



Still further north



Can't remember where this was, but it's definitely Sweden



A somewhat un-Swedish-looking bridge. Sweden.

[Salvatore]

Högakustenbron - the High Coast Bridge, which crosses Ångermanälven and privedes access to the northen coast of the Gulf of Bothnia



There's no cycle lane/path but this bit was coned off and it was Sunday, so there were no roadworks actually being done



The next bridge upstream



Footbridge near the eponymous mill at Kvarnforsen.



and the bridge to the mill

[Basil]

Blimey Salvatore, you have an interesting commute.   

[Salvatore]

Now Lapland



This one has a wire rope thingy next to it - see the post and platform on the extreme right







The bridge across the Ume









Two different bridges with double arches (if that's the correct term)





and one a single arch across the Lule





A gnat's whisker south of the Arctic Circle , near Vuollerim



North of the Arctic Circle, taken on midsummer's Eve at Jokkmokk.



Railway bridge north of Jokkmokk



Footbridge a Gällevare, which provides a handy shortcut between the youth hostel and the hospital.



Gällevare again



Near Stenbron rastplats



North of Stenbron



Bridge across the Kalix



A bit further north

[Salvatore]

Blimey Salvatore, you have an interesting commute.   

Fasten your seatbelts, plenty more to come.

[Salvatore]

The bridge over the Torne at Karesuando. I think it's the most northerly road bridge in Sweden (ignoring that half of it is in Finland). There's a sign outside the town to a dirt road which is Sweden's most northerly public road, but that's a dead end.

[Salvatore]

Now Finland, and the bridge carrying the E75 north from Sodankylä



Seen from the 193 km road from Inari to Kittila



2 bridges either side of Pokka, the only village on that stretch (but not big enough for a shop)





The bridge at Kittila, several weeks before sunset



A disused railway bridge





Another bridge joining the nordic neighbours Sweden and Finland



One of the bridges at Tornio

[Mr Larrington]

While some people will be distracted by the Shiny Thing in the foreground, behind it is the bridge carrying NV-305 over I-80, Battle Mountain, Nevada.

[Salvatore]

Apart  from the first one, these are all in Finland

A somewhat pointless footbridge at the Arctic Circle at Juokseni.



I got the impression that Oulo is a city of bridges connected by residential areas

























Next up: the Baltic States and Poland

[Salvatore]

The first bridge I saw in Estonia



Further south:



Pärnu, on the Gulf of Riga



And that's your lot from Estonia.
