The Norfolk Southern Railroad runs right through the Parklands of Floyds Fork and it’s this particular trestle that gets quite a bit of attention.…. There are many legends in Kentucky, some more believed than others. For example, most wouldn’t argue with the haunted claims of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, but the idea of a “goat man” […]
Some Locals Swear There’s A Legendary Monster Living Under The Pope Lick Bridge In Kentucky….. — Dark Fringe Radio
By Ruby Brinkerhoff
Sometimes an old bridge is just that. An old bridge. Nothing much to talk about, often beneath our feet and our wheels, but rarely the object of direct attention, let alone debate. Tucked away in the Delaware Valley, nestled between two sides of the Delaware River, the Milanville Bridge has connected New […]
The Fight to Save a Small-Town Bridge: Reflections on Infrastructure, Placemaking, and Community Engagement — Carolina Angles
Here’s a look at another Endangered Truss bridge. This one borders Pennsylvania with New York, spanning the Delaware and has been closed for many months. Yet the underlying signs indicate that the historic bridge, deemed of high value to the villagers of Milanville, is at risk of replacement with its future uncertain. Ruby Brinkerhoff has done an essay on the significance of this historic bridge and how the community and the two state highway departments have played a role in determining its future, based on cost-factors as well as issues involving the environment and planning.
Lake Granger, the one that no one really wanted but the one the government was determined to build. In my story in the last post I talked about the book I read on the history of the San Gabriel River dams. Well here at Granger, just above Laneport is Lake Granger. So I figured I’d […]
San Gabriel River Lakes- The Bridges of Madis….er Williamson County and the Comanche Bluff Trail- Granger Lake, Granger, Williamson County, Texas — Old Man Wandering
Monday October 4th – When most people think of bridges they think of vast steel arches or thick concrete decks, but rarely do people think about what went into building bridges before modern technology.

The Last Incan Bridge – The Q’eswachaka Bridge of Peru — Bridge Boys
.
.
This bridge has rarely seen any newsstories about it because it is deep in the “darkest Peru”, as coined by the character Paddington Bear. Yet the crew at Bridge Boys decided to tackle this structure, looking at its history and how it was built (and built again based on an ancient tradition). It is the last bridge of its kind in the western Hemisphere and there are photos, films and other reasons why this bridge is now a candidate for the 2021 Bridgehunter Awards in the Category, James Baughn’s Individual Bridge Finds. Click on the link above, have a look at the bridge and its connection with tradition, listen to the podcast and enjoy! 🙂

The Edward Albert Railway Bridge arching across the River Severn, September 2021. The autumnal equinox for 2021 was signalled by the early morning dew heavy upon grass and leaves. In the countryside, the changing colours and gradual die-back of vegetation provided a frame for some stunning landscape views of archaeology sites. Exploring the Ironbridge Gorge […]
Seasonal Archaeology: The Last Iron Bridge (in Shropshire at least!) — archaeologytea
Hello guys. Hope you all continue to stay safe from the worst ever pandemic the world has witnessed. Well, as I say in every post, this is a mandatory question I have to ask during this time. The situation in India is somewhat balanced with the country reporting less than 50000 cases and around the […]
Pontcysyllte- Finally A Welsh Journey — jetsetterweb
That beauty is the Fort Point Channel bridge for the New Haven Railroad, part of the final approach to Boston’s South Station when built in 1898, and still serving in that capacity today. Fort Point Channel separates the center of Boston from South Boston, and the trains on this line are now all commuter trains…
A Bridge Seen Out Of Context — Old Structures Engineering
Dinham Bridge in the Shropshire market town of Ludlow is not as old as looks suggest. It was built in 1823 and is sometimes attributed to Thomas Telford, who in earlier decades had been Shropshire’s Surveyor of Public Works. But it seems unlikely that this is one of his bridges; around this time and for […]
Bridge Over The River Teme — Tish Farrell
New Hampshire’s history is long and not always as peaceful as we’d like to think. We have our fair share of bad deeds, criminals, and downright unfortunate events. But every so often we find a piece of local history that actually has us rethinking the places we’ll visit. This bridge is an example. And while […]
