What is the coolest bridge on the planet? This is one of them:
Coolest Bridge
I still love Scotland’s Firth of Forth bridge, and the famous one from my birthplace, the Golden Gate bridge. But that one that connects Sweden and Denmark is pretty cool! I wonder what it feels/sounds like when going under the water. It must be a freaky feeling.You know, that bridge reminds me of a certain ride in Riven.Ha, was doing some more research on this bridge, and found this:

i really like that tensegrity bridge in Brisbane, Australia.
I’ve been on this bridge/tunnel and while it’s interesting to see a large ship crossing the “road” right in front of you before diving under the shipping channels…..I will honestly say it’s a pretty pedestrian design overall. Is it interesting? You bet. Is it cool? Sorta. Is it pushing the envelope of good design? No. It’s a functional design I would expect from the Army Corps with very, very limited aesthetic. It’s worth seeing but I can’t vote it as one of the coolest on the planet.
