The most unusual bridges of peace
Noting that previous material turned out to be interesting for the readers of «Re-actor.net», it was decided to continue the theme of the bridges. Only now, in a more aesthetic way. In order not to be considered amateurs and deceivers :)

Bridge Octavio Frias de Oliveira Bridge is also unique in its kind. Located in Sao Paulo, Brazil is the only bridge in the world, bearing the letters which form the shape of a cross formed by H. Height - 137 meters and 16 centimeters.
Most BANGO (Banpo Bridge) does not have outstanding size, but in its own way unique. And most importantly - very beautiful. And he entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the bridge, which is the world's longest fountain "Moon Rainbow" (1140 m). The bridge connects the two banks of the Han River in the South Korean city of Seoul.
Zanesvillsky Y-Bridge (Zanesville Y-bridge) in the eponymous town of Zanesville, Ohio, USA, is unique in its form Y. The bridge was built at the confluence of the Licking and Makingem, and therefore contains three automotive web.
Although the triple bridges in the world abound. For example, a pedestrian suspension bridge Kikki in Japan. He does not have any support!
Incredible beauty and originality of the pedestrian bridge Helix is located in Singapore and is a length of 280 meters. But the main attention he attracted by its design in the form of two helices that resemble DNA. Lighting of the bridge adjusted by computer. Helix was commissioned in April last year.

For 10 years the inhabitants of Amsterdam pleases the eye the bridge Pythonbrug, connecting the island of Borneo to the mainland. It is not hard to guess that the bridge got its name from the serpentine form.
Continuing the theme of pedestrian bridges is impossible not to mention the Langkawi Sky Bridge, located in Malaysia. The bridge is only 125 meters, but the altitude is as much as 700 meters. Another peculiarity is that the bridge is held on the ropes, which are fixed on the same column, and he seems to be hanging over the precipice. Stability of Langkawi Sky Bridge give additional cables attached to the rocks.
Very unique shape and design at the Millennium Bridge (Gateshead Millennium Bridge), in the North of England. It is used by cyclists and pedestrians. At the heart of the two steel arch bridge. In the usual state of one arch is raised, and the second is used to move from one bank of the River Tyne.

And for a snack funny pedestrian bridge in high-tech style. It is also unique in its kind, as is able to fold into a circular shape. The length of a bridge of 12 meters, but in cities such as London, where the canal system is extensive enough, Rolling Bridge - the best way out.
