The most unusual bridges of the world (continued)

Continuing the theme of the Funny and unusual bridges of peace, I propose to view a few more not included in the post beautiful bridges ... 10 pieces.

1. A new bridge over the Strait of Fehmarn-Belt. 19-kilometer engineering marvel will be built approximately in 2018 and cancel expensive ferry service between the German island of Fehmarn and the Danish island of Lolland. It is estimated that the construction of this bridge should do in 2, 2 billion.





2. Gateshead "Millennium Bridge". Home architectural award in Britain in 44 million dollars. Open to the public in 2001. The bridge is constructed of two arches, one of which is actually a bridge, and the other supports; arches have a common point of rotation. The bridge is raised to let ships pass - that's what makes the rotational movement and the entire structure in a single arch, which resembles a slowly raise and lower eyelid big eyes.



3. The bridge across the Bering Strait. This project will connect Asia, Africa and Europe to North and South America. Construction of the bridge is scheduled to start from the most eastern point of Asia - Cape Dezhnev and spend up to the most western point of North America - Cape Prince of Wales, connecting the Arctic Ocean (Chukchi Sea) from the Pacific Ocean (Bering Sea). However, a severe arctic climate in every way impedes the construction of such a project.



4. Pedestrian "bridge to the cloud." This suspension bridge in Malaysia is a unique engineering structure, envelope single metal support height of 87 meters, which runs 8 cables supporting the pedestrian part of the bridge.



5. Bridge "Golden Gate". Needs no introduction ... Grandly.



6. Magdeburg "Water Bridge." 918-meter Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany, completed in October 2003, connects two important channels: the Elbe - Havel Canal and the Mediterranean, leading to the industrial Ruhr Valley. Its construction took six years, 733 million dollars, 68,000 cubic meters of concrete and 24,000 tons of structural steel.
