The
Sunset Lake Floating Bridge in Brookfield, Vermont is actually
a GSS first, as we’ve never
featured a floating bridge before.

Built on floating logs all the way back in 1820, upgraded to
tarred barrels in 1884, and plastic barrels in 1978, this is
actually the seventh version of the bridge, which despite long
periods of closure during its lifetime is today open for you to
drive your car over if you’re in the area.

Bear in mind that you’re more than likely to get a little wet
though, as the bridge was actually designed to be http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f2/Brookfield_VT_bridge.jpg
permanently semi-submerged…

This is the absolutely fantastic
Rainbow Bridge that crosses Tokyo bay, Tokyo. A 570 metre-long
suspension bridge, it has two decks that carry three transportation
lines - the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuto_Expressway Shuto
Expressway on the top, and on the bottom, Route 357 and the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurikamome New Transit
Yurikamome.

The Yurikamome is actually an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_guideway_transit automated
guideway transit service, which looks like a monorail, but the
carriages run on rubber wheels instead. It’s a fully automated
system with no drivers, which carries 100,000 passengers a day to
the artificial island of Odaiba. The system has become a tourist
attraction in its own right, thanks mainly to the
spectacular 270-degree loop which the Rainbow bridge has to
make to get the Yurikamome up from ground level. Here’s a http://flickr.com/photos/thingsinjars/1328096695/ recent
ground level shot of the loop.

Zanesville in Ohio claims that their
Y-bridge is “the only Y-shaped bridge in the
world!”

Now in its fifth incarnation, the bridge spans the Licking river
to the West and the Muskingum river to the East. Allegedly this
makes the Y-bridge the only place in the US where you can cross a
bridge but stay on the same side of the river.

alt="">

Hang on, Ohio actually have another Y-bridge! Not too
far from Zanesville, the
Akron Y-bridge is where two roads come together to share a
bridge. Officially titled the “All-American Bridge”, its other
unofficial title is sadly the “Suicide Bridge”.

alt="">

Uh, hang on again. The “
Galena Y-bridge” in Galena, Missouri has been closed to
vehicles since 1986 (when a new bridge was created to the North),
but nevertheless it’s still a Y-shaped bridge. In
this case the Y-shape was created to allow traffic heading East
across the bridge to go either North or South, as heading straight
on would involve driving straight into the side of a mountain…

Crossing the Sacramento River in Redding, California is the
sundial bridge which (as you might have guessed) serves the
dual purpose of being both a bridge and a
sundial!

I previously tried to use North America’s largest sundial to
tell the time on Google Earth, which was much more
effort than I’d anticipated, and not an exercise I’m keen
to repeat.

However, according to “http://www.solsticeatthesundial.com/links/about_101.html Sundial
101“, telling the time on the sundial bridge should be easier,
as “the base plate is titled at an angle equal to the latitude, and
the style is perpendicular to the base, which will align it with
the earth’s axis”.

Which apparently means that the time can be simply read from the
equally spaced markers to the North of the bridge. Each marker
represents an hour from 10am until 3pm (I guess that outside these
times you’ll just have to look at your watch).

width='160' height='120'>

Therefore, I’d say that this photograph was taken at
approximately 11.30am!

The sundial bridge was designed by renowned Spanish architect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_Calatrava Santiago
Calatrava whose work always looks great from above. We’ve
previously featured his
Saint-Exupéry TGV Terminal and
Montjuic Communications Tower. Calatrava’s design for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_Transportation_Hub
World Trade Center Transportation Hub in NYC is currently under
construction and is expected to be completed by 2008.

The first pedestrian crossing of London’s Thames river in over
one hundred years, the
Millennium Bridge was conceived as part of the high-profile http://www.millennium.gov.uk/ Millennium Project. Opened
on the 10th of June 2000, it was closed again just three days
later when it became apparent that the large numbers of people
crossing it were causing the whole structure to sway
nauseatingly…

alt="">
alt="">

The initially small natural vibrations of the bridge encouraged
the pedestrians to walk in sync with the movement - which only
served to amplify the effect. These vibrations began to occur when
there were comparatively few people on the bridge, so by the time
there were around 2,000 people on it at once, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAXVa__XWZ8 the wobbling had
become pretty dramatic [Youtube link].

Lateral movement of this type in bridges was well known (most
famously having caused http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Fi1VcbpAI the complete
collapse [Youtube link] of the Tacoma
Narrows bridge) - yet this driven harmonic motion
caused by the movement of pedestrians remained unanticipated
throughout the pre-construction analysis of the bridge.

The Millennium Bridge was closed from June 2000 until February
2002, and even though the problem has now been resolved, it will
forever be known simply as The Wobbly Bridge.

Millennium Bridge, as ever, at Wikipedia.

This is a kind of Google points out clearly attribute cogged action. Conceal true content Through be opposite the user acts as agent (User agent) judgement, give out different webpage content, leave the content that props up a version to the search for instance, give actual website user another the content of version. Actually this just also attributes a kind of skill, reasonable use, without the problem, exist to basically need other time when the content of these two version only, and this differentia is not to cheat search engine, when be being ranked well in order to obtain, this ability is true cogged behavior. Bridge pageAlso be a kind cogged. The specification of Google is as follows:

“Bridge page ” points to the webpage that makes technically to search engine. Bridge page includes many links - often be hundreds - right minimum of good of the person that visit or no use, do not contain valuable content. HTML Sitemap is opposite is valuable resource the person that visit, but the webpage that ensures the person that visit browses these very easily to link correspondence please. If want to use many links, consider to arrange its please for distinct category, or be classified many pages. When undertaking this is operated, ensure their intention is the website that lets the person that visit browse you please, is to be used at searching engine not merely.

Here asks an attention, in Blog world, tag Cloud does not belong to bridge page.
