Runcorn Bridge. Amazing architecture and as the photo below shows, the view is breathtaking.

I used to work with a bloke who in a previous job worked on the crawler for that, it went over the arch and he would paint the bridge. He was leaving the job we were in to go back to it.

Ribblehead is stunning, good shout. The Humber Bridge is my favourite as it always reminds me I'm home. 

 

One I haven't seen mentioned yet is the Astoria-Megler bridge in Oregon and as featured in the Goonies! We took a long drive back up the west coast via this route and whilst it was memorable for many reasons, driving down this and ending up just above the water level was a great experience.

The fella must have made a "donation".

 

Rotterdam has confirmed it will dismantle a historic bridge to allow a superyacht built for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to fit through.

The record-breaking luxury yacht is being built by Dutch firm Oceanco and was linked to Mr Bezos last year.

The vessel is reported to be 417ft (127m) long and too tall to fit through the Koningshaven Bridge.

A spokesman for the mayor confirmed the plan to reporters, with Mr Bezos set to foot the bill through Oceanco.

 

@cloggypop What is the story?

Bezos is one of the biggest cunts in the world. Fucking things the size of an ocean liner but he can't pay his workers a living wage.
