14 most amazing bridges in the world, which Vietnamese representative is on it?

The famous British newspaper Independent published a list of 14 most amazing bridges in the world, including one in Vietnam. Simply connecting traffic, some bridges in the world have become symbols of architecture and art, even symbols of cities, such as New York's Brooklyn Bridge or London's Tower Bridge.

The most spectacular bridges on the planet in the following list of British newspapers have a combination of aesthetic features and ingenious feats of engineering.

Danyang-Kunshan Bridge, China

At over 164 km long, this is the longest bridge in the world . Opened in 2011, it took around 10,000 people to build the bridge in just 4 years and cost 8.5 billion US dollars. This incredible structure connects Shanghai with Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province.

Millau Viaduct, France

Surpassing even the majestic Eiffel Tower in height, France's Millau Viaduct holds the title of the world's tallest viaduct. At 343m high, the bridge opened in 2004 and spans the Tarn Valley between Clermont-Ferrand and Béziers and Narbonne.

Ribblehead Viaduct, North Yorkshire, England

Comprising 24 stone arches and rising 32m above the moorland below, the Ribblehead Viaduct is one of the UK’s finest examples of Victorian engineering. Built between 1870 and 1874 as part of the picturesque Settle-Carlisle Railway, the bridge is located in the middle of the Three Peaks and on the border of Cumbria and Yorkshire.

Vasco da Gama Bridge, Portugal

At nearly 12 km long, the Vasco da Gama Bridge, which connects northern and southern Portugal, is the longest bridge in Europe. It opened in 1998 and is named after the Portuguese explorer who was the first European to reach India by sea in the 15th century. Crossing the Tagus River, passengers cannot walk across the bridge and it was built to withstand winds of up to 249 km/h.

Panjiang Beihang Bridge, China

At over 560m high, the Beipanjiang Bridge, or Duge, is the world's tallest bridge. This vital stretch of highway links the cities of Liupanshui and Qujing, cutting travel times by up to three hours. Almost twice as tall as London's Shard, the bridge cost an estimated £112 million to build.

Pont du Gard aqueduct, France

Claiming the title of the oldest bridge on this list, the Pont du Gard aqueduct is a Roman monument built in the first century AD. Originally designed to supply water to the city of Nîmes, the three-tiered aqueduct stands 50m high. Constructed from soft, yellow limestone, the remarkable structure was declared a historic monument by the French government in 1840.

Golden Gate Bridge, USA

The world's most famous bridge, San Francisco's iconic landmark, opened in 1937 (just six months after the city's other major bridge, the Oakland Bay Bridge) at a cost of $35 million at the time. Last year, the US government approved a $400 million project to help protect the bridge from earthquakes.

Hartland Bridge/New Brunswick, Canada

Opened in 1901, the world's longest covered bridge was designated a national historic landmark in 1980. The one-way bridge was covered in 1922 despite local protests.

Eshima Ohashi, Japan

Looking at pictures of this infamous bridge, you might mistake it for some kind of racetrack. The incredibly steep road up to the bridge has a maximum gradient of 6.1%, but some photos show it looking very different. Just over a mile long, the Eshima Ohashi Bridge, which connects Matsue and Sakaiminato, is the largest rigid-frame bridge in Japan.

Canakkale Bridge 1915, Türkiye

Opened in March last year, the 1915 Canakkale Bridge is now the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a main span of 2,023m. Overall, the structure is nearly 5km long and took more than five years to build at a cost of £2.1bn.

Sky Bridge, Czech Republic

The world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge opened in May 2022 in the Dolni Morava region in the east of the country. At 721m long and just 1.2m wide, it overtook the recently opened Arouca 516 in Portugal.

George Washington Bridge, USA

The George Washington Bridge is the busiest bridge in the world, carrying over one hundred million vehicles each year (or up to 250,000 vehicles per day). The original construction was completed in 1927, although a lower level was opened in 1962, meaning that today the bridge carries traffic across 14 different lanes (the most of any bridge in the world).

Rod El Farag Bridge Crane, Egypt

Also known as the Tahya Misr Bridge, it opened in 2019 and instantly became the widest cable-stayed bridge in the world. Built at a cost of around £4.1 million, the bridge spans 540m along the Nile and features a pedestrian walkway and glass-floored walkway, and has become a popular tourist attraction for those looking to see the river.

Golden Bridge, Vietnam

NGUYEN MINH TU

Since opening in 2018, Vietnam’s Golden Bridge has become a major tourist attraction. Located on a mountaintop near the city of Da Nang, the unusual bridge is designed to look as if it is being supported by a pair of giant hands.

The Golden Bridge is managed by Sun World Ba Na Hills Tourist Area, inaugurated in 2018 with a unique design of giant hands supporting a 150m long yellow arch road. The bridge is considered one of the symbols of Da Nang tourism.
