Colorado: Royal Gorge Bridge - This lofty bridge near Cañon City has a head for heights – it soars to 955 feet (291m), straddling the walls of the rugged, red gorge. It was completed in 1929 but is young in comparison to the gorge itself, which has been carved over millions of years by the Arkansas River. Have you ever visited this bridge?

Connecticut: Arrigoni Bridge - An elegant double arch spanning the Connecticut River, the Arrigoni Bridge was built to the tune of $3.5 million back in 1938. It's not a case of style over substance though: the bridge spans the route from Middletown to Portland. The steel structure was named after Charles J. Arrigoni, the parliamentarian who pioneered the project. Have you ever visited this bridge?

Delaware: Delaware Memorial Bridge - The hulking Delaware Memorial Bridge links the Diamond State to New Jersey. An attractive twin suspension, it's dedicated to those from both Delaware and New Jersey who were killed in combat during the Second World War and in other major conflicts. Not far from the bridge lies the Veteran's Memorial Park which includes a monument inscribed with the names of the fallen. Have you ever visited this bridge?

Florida: Seven Mile Bridge - Jutting into an expanse of brilliant blue, this concrete bridge seems to stretch for hundreds of miles. But, as the name suggests, it continues for just under seven, joining up the idyllic Florida Keys. The landmark is actually two separate bridges. The older of the two, completed in 1912, is closed for lengthy repairs until 2021. Have you ever visited this bridge?

Georgia: Tallulah Gorge Bridge - Swaying at 80 feet (24m) above the whitewaters of the Tallulah River, this dizzying bridge is the backdrop for the thundering Hurricane Falls. But I think its elegant wooden expanse is a sight to behold in itself. Have you ever visited this bridge?
