Trivia
There are more than 600,000 bridges in America – and many of them are incredible feats of modern engineering, while others are steeped in history. With many now more empty than ever, I will take you on a tour of the most impressive/breathtaking/beautiful bridge in every US state (and Canada later on) so you can admire them from your armchair.

New Mexico: Rio Grande Gorge Bridge - This New Mexico structure is also known as "High Bridge" – and for good reason. A stone's throw from the ancient pueblos of Taos, this bridge spans the rugged Rio Grande Gorge, rising to a lofty 565 feet (172m). It's reached by Highway 64 and its movie-star good looks have earned it appearances in several films, most notably 1994 thriller Natural Born Killers. Have you ever visited this bridge?

New York: Brooklyn Bridge - A cable-stayed suspension bridge with proud concrete towers at either end, Brooklyn Bridge has linked the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan (once separate cities) since 1883. It was a marvel of engineering at the time of construction (taking more than a decade to complete) and no time passed has dimmed its sense of awe. Have you ever visited this bridge?

North Carolina: Mile High Swinging Bridge - This sky-high bridge in Grandfather Mountain State Park is tipped as the highest suspension footbridge in the country. A mile (1.6km) above sea level, it sways with the slightest gust. It provides the foreground to the park's namesake mountain – a near 6,000-foot (1,829m) peak. Have you ever visited this bridge?

North Dakota: Hi-Line Bridge - This historic railroad bridge could have been pulled straight from an old Western movie. It was completed more than a hundred years ago, in 1908, and beats an unswerving path across the Sheyenne River in Valley City. Held up to its 162-foot (49m) height by 30 hardy towers, the bridge was pivotal in the Second World War as supplies and soldiers were transported over the river in coast-to-coast journeys. It was closely guarded during the entire conflict. Have you ever visited this bridge?
