I added this into my blogs to recall some of the famous bridges I've crossed in my life time.
Some of them include: The Golden Gate Bridge which was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937, and has become one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco. Sunshine Skyway Bridge - St. Petersburg and Bradenton
At 29,040 feet long, the Skyway is the world's longest cable-stayed concrete bridge. Tampa Bay's old cantilever bridge was destroyed in 1980 when a freighter, Summit Venture, plowed into it, causing more than 1,000 feet of the bridge to fall into the bay. The Department of Transportation began immediate reconstruction on a safer bridge, which opened to traffic in 1987 and has won dozens of architectural awards. Seven Mile Bridge - Florida Keys At a total length of 35,862 feet or 6.79 miles, the present seven-mile-bridge connects Vaca Key to Bahia Honda in the Lower Keys and has attracted many filmmakers. Its "Hollywood credits" include True Lies, 2 Fast 2 Furious and License to Kill. Brooklyn Bridge - New York City Tower Bride - London, England

I thought I'd never get Corey to leave the bench.
Just as we were leaving, the drawbridge was raised.
The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City at The Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.
