Engineering feat? It's friggin' concrete! And didn't last a week.

THIS actual engineering feat was built in 1777, still stands today, and handled vehicular traffic into the 1960s.

Easy on the eyes too.

I’m not an engineer so maybe am ignorant. But, to look at some older bridges such as this, which have stood the test of time, doesn’t that indicate that bridge technology, laws of physics, etc have been well developed in that area? Were they doing something completely outside the box of conventional construction?

The engineer’s ring. A friend of mine wore one. This story is especially relevant to this incedent.

The Milvian Bridge in Rome, built around the first century, is still in place, and still in use for foot traffic.

This one's been around since 1673. Only vehicles, though, have been bicycles.

THAT is a bridge.
I love looking at old bridges, built back when each bridge had it’s own character or personality.
Beautiful.
