Part 1.
Chapter catholic church Pope is also the title "Pontiff Maximus", which means the "great builder of the bridges" and indicates his role of the mediator between the sky and the land, the time of its board is called "Pontifitis".
This title appeared in ancient Rome, when the Supreme Priest simultaneously served in the temple and supervised the bridges.
That is, in antiquity on the bridges looked at the sacred symbol, the road to God.
Over time, the bridges have become not only a demonstration of the magnitia of engineering thought, but also one of the most beautiful creatures of a person.

I consider paintings of the ancient bridges, the time disappears.
The gone pratvilization comes in its magnificence.
Why does everything that is connected with that that has gone pardricivilization?
Considering bridges, aqueducts, viaducts, Arches found an answer.
I saw another time.
I saw that the mountain river flows, people came full of love for nature, dignity, respect for everything essentially. The main Magi or Magheva looked at her subtle vision and saw in a future bridge in an unsecured world.
He explained to his relatives that he sees. And praying to his gods, nature, asking allowing, they made the bridge. And these bridges are great so far, so far they carry the harmony of those people-creators of the departed pratvilization.

The invaders of the Earth are very afraid that we do not know the truth about your
quite recent history. Very afraid - it is very gently told.
To conceal this stunning truth, they developed and imposed
humanity - outside the national and religious framework - the so-called

number of lies and insidious logical traps; Supported by all the power of informational accompanies.
Our recent story is an excellent illustration of at what level

The upper part of the platform is part of the motorway, and the bottom is painted in yellow and blue - the colors of Leuwarden.

The creators of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge in the UK since 2001 received a total of more than 30 premiums for architectural and engineering solutions, five of whom - for the design solution of night illumination. The bridge is also depicted on a 1 pound coin. The construction consists of two arches connected cable. One of them is a pedestrian walkway, under which small ships can pass. The second in the peak comes to a height of about 50 m. To skip a large vessel, the arches rotate 40º around its axis, and one (pedestrian) rises, and the other descends. This turn is called the "winking eye". It is repeated about 2000 times a year.

So, we are going to inspect the 25 most unique bridges in the world.

Helix Bridge in Singapore

This bridge is unique in what is similar to the DNA structure. Opened in 2010, Helix Bridge was made mainly from steel and lit at night with LED lighting ribbons to emphasize his unique design

Bridge Cappelbrücke

Located in Lucerne, this bridge was built in 1333 and crosses the Royce River diagonally. This is the oldest wooden indoor bridge in Europe. The inner part of the bridge is decorated with paintings of the 17th century, depicting the events of local history. Most of The bridge was destroyed by fire about 20 years ago.

As soon as you overcome the way cablewayThe bridge will give an ideal opportunity to consider the beautiful sights of Malaysian mountains and rainforest.

Bridge Gateshead Millennium

This construction was opened by the British Queen in 2002 and is located in the city of Newcastle, crossing the secrets River. The Millennium Bridge is unique in that this is one of several bridges in the world that leans. When it is tilted in one direction, it turns into a normal pedestrian bridge, where you can walk and admire the views of the river. When the bridge is tilted in the other direction, it allows boats and ships to pass under it. Gateshead Millennium received many architectural awards for their design and name "Viking's eye", because it looks like an eye that blinks every time the structure bends.

Old Bridge Bosnia

The old bridge was built in 1566 and successfully opposed the test of time until he was destroyed in 1993 during the Bosnian War. More than $ 13 million were spent on the restoration of the bridge and the surrounding buildings until it was finally restored and publicly opened in 2004.

Akasi Bridge in Japan

One of the greatest examples of Japanese engineering - the Acasi Bridge is holding a record as the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a full length of 3911 meters. It would take 4 Brooklyn bridge to cover this distance. It took 12 years to build this construction. Strange, but the bridge was not built with the intention to be the longest hanging bridge in the world, but in 1995 after the earthquake had to add additional sections that Dali Akasi had his record. The total length of the bridge cable is 300,000 km. This is enough to surround the land 7.5 times!

Rialto Bridge in Italy

Built in the 15th century, he crosses the Grand Canal of Venice. Rialto was first built in 1181 and was the only way to get to the other side of the Great Channel. Only in 1551 the authorities decided to modernize the bridge. The best architects, including Michelangelo and Palladio, offered their projects, but the task in the end was transferred to Antonio da Ponte. Some architects skeptically treated his plans and predicted the bridge failure, but he challenged his critics, and the bridge was perfectly preserved to the present day. The classical Venetian bridge architecture was complemented by elements of the nineteenth century a few centuries later. Rialto for a long time was single bridgeCrossing the Great Channel and the only connection between the two parties to Venice until more modern bridges were built.

Bridge Slauerhofbrug

No, this is not an illicit! This extremely fancy bridge is located in Leuupenden. Because of the huge number of rivers and canals in the Netherlands, a large intensity of shipping and the same volume vehicle, the country needed a bridge, which is able to quickly rise and go down, bring benefits and road, and river shipping. So a bridge of Sloeurhofbrug appeared. Built in 2000 from iron and steel, the bridge rises and falls 10 times a day using hydraulics.

Oktavio de Oliveira Bridge

The project is unusual due to the X-shaped structures in the middle and two levels of movement crossing each other during the passage through the support. Oliveira Bridge is also decorated with LEDs flickering in special holidays. For example, at Christmas bridge can be lit as to look like a Christmas tree.

Falkkerka wheel

This is more than just a bridge, thanks to his futuristic design. Wheel Folkerka - the first and only lift in the world for a boat! The structure can actually rotate 180 degrees. The boat swims through the canal to the lower tier, after which the structure turns around, raising the boat to the top of the channel. This is a unique way to connect channels, which makes it an exceptional feat of modern development.

Waves Henderson

The bridge was designed to look like waves. Henderson waves connect 2 parks in Singapore, and open ideal views of the surrounding beauty.

Side is quietly towers over the river gorge in the Chinese province of Hubei, surrounded by mountains and forests. Construction was a problem due to a remote location. There was no possibility to use lifting cranes, boats or helicopters. Engineers have come up with an interesting idea to use rockets. More than 1000 cable meters were tied to missiles, which were sent on the other side of the gorge. This is a unique location, and a unique way of construction.

Miyo Bridge

Miyo Bridge is in the Book of Records, being the highest bridge in the world. The height of the technical masterpiece is 342 meters. New York Times described it as "development triumph", and Bi-Bi called him "one of the technical wonders of the 21st century." President of France, Jacques Chirac, opened the bridge in 2004, construction cost approximately 394 million euros. The bridge itself crosses the valley of the Tarn River in Millo and opens the driver of the most stunning views throughout France, sometimes being even above the clouds.

Bridge Danyan Kunshhan

This bridge is the longest bridge in the world - it is 102 miles long. Railroad bridge It is part of high-speed railway Beijing Shanghai. Construction was started in 2006, and the cost of the project was incredible 8.5 billion dollars. More than 450,000 tons of steel were used for the structure, 10,000 workers were constantly involved in the process. Danyan-Kunshhan Bridge entered his name in history for a long time.
