  • Peter DeFazio Bridge (1999) is a pedestrian and bicycle suspension bridge across the Willamette River in Eugene. Its eye-catching form displays interesting and unique architecture, with a modernist take on the classic suspension bridge. The DeFazio Bridge is celebrated for providing transportation and recreation opportunities that are in harmony with the natural environment, conveniently connecting several multi-use pathways and serving as primary bicycle-pedestrian artery between downtown Eugene and neighborhoods north of the river. Gradual grades on main span, approach ramps and stairs make this bridge the functional equivalent of the ultimate freeway spaghetti-interchange for pedestrians and bicyclists, yet its artful architecture compliments the beautiful urban park setting of Alton Baker Park. The DeFazio Bridge enhances accessibility to, and use of, the park – a marvel of modern bridge engineering. The bridge was designed by Jiri Strasky of Strasky Husty and Partners, and OBEC Consulting Engineers, built by Mowat Construction Company, and named after the Oregon Congressman. Lane County, Oregon, USA.

  • Armitage Bridge (1887), also called Coburg Railroad Bridge and McKenzie River Railroad Bridge (historically, John Day Railroad Bridge), is a single span Whipple through truss bridge over the McKenzie River, between Eugene and Coburg. This bridge has been moved once. Originally erected in 1887 across the John Day River at the confluence with the Columbia River, it was dismantled and relocated here in 1907 by the American Bridge Company for new owners, Southern Pacific Railroad. This bridge was designed by prominent American civil engineer and great bridge engineer, George S. Morison, who designed many major bridges, some of similar configuration to this one. The bridge is made of wrought iron, pin-connected, and riveted throughout, making it one of the few remaining bridges of its era. Further, while this bridge was a relatively small project for Morison, it remains one of the few surviving Morison bridges of this distinctive configuration. Notable features are the deep lattice portal bracing, mid-height horizontal beam in the end panels and cast-iron decorative details, like the date plate. Lane County, Oregon, USA.

  • Clay Shaw Bridge (2001), also called the 17th Street Causeway Bridge, is a pair of twin parallel 54-foot-wide causeway structures, each incorporating a double-leaf bascule bridge, separated by a 13-foot open air median. This new bridge, spanning 210 feet between trunnions, increases navigable waterway width of the Intracoastal Waterway from 100 feet to 125 feet, and vertical clearance from 22 feet to 55 feet, over the previous 1956 bridge at this location – the Commodore Brook Memorial Causeway. Striking features of this bridge are its V-shaped Carina piers (providing excellent visibility for shipping navigation) and the Art Deco-style bridge operator’s house. Also notable are the open traffic railings (for greater vista visibility), emergency shoulders, bicycle lanes and sidewalks – with pedestrian overlooks incorporated into the bascule spans. Owner: Florida Department of Transport; Design consultant for piers and bascule bridge: EC Driver & Associates; Design of Bridge Structures: FIGG Bridge Engineers; Roadway: Keith & Schnars. Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida, USA.

  • Clay Shaw Bridge (2001), also called the 17th Street Causeway Bridge, is a pair of twin parallel 54-foot-wide causeway structures, each incorporating a double-leaf bascule bridge, separated by a 13-foot open air median. This new bridge, spanning 210 feet between trunnions, increases navigable waterway width of the Intracoastal Waterway from 100 feet to 125 feet, and vertical clearance from 22 feet to 55 feet, over the previous 1956 bridge at this location – the Commodore Brook Memorial Causeway. Striking features of this bridge are its V-shaped Carina piers (providing excellent visibility for shipping navigation) and the Art Deco-style bridge operator’s house. Also notable are the open traffic railings (for greater vista visibility), emergency shoulders, bicycle lanes and sidewalks – with pedestrian overlooks incorporated into the bascule spans.

  • FEC New River Bridge (1978) is a single-leaf bascule railroad bridge spanning the navigable New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The design type is a through plate girder bridge of total span 70 feet /21.3m, providing a horizontal boat navigable clearance of 60 feet/18.3m. Additionally, the bridge comprises three 25-foot approach spans, plus a 14-foot machinery room span, from the north; and two 25-foot spans from the south. Notable was the use of weathering steel to eliminate environmental concerns around initial and future painting. By 1985, the weathering steel had reportedly reached a stable condition for its environment. One of the design criteria for this bridge was to double-track the crossing, removing the bottleneck of a single track bridge at this location dating back to 1912. Now, in the 21st Century, as freight trains are once again sharing the tracks with passenger trains operated by Brightline, alternatives are being studied through the New River Crossing Feasibility Study to further expand capacity by tunnel and various fixed/movable bridge replacement options.

  • Modern bridge and ancient castle, this image shows the juxtaposition of 21st century and 10th century engineering. Puente de la Armada Española - 2006 (Bridge of the Navy) is a cable-stayed pedestrian suspension bridge over the Rio Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol in Spain. Fuengirola Castle or Castillo Sohail is a 10th century Arab castle occupied by the Moors and later conquered and ruined by the Christian Monarchs in 1485.  Rebuilt by the French during the 1807 Peninsular War, and successfully defended from a British-Spanish force at the Battle of Fuengirola, 1810 by a band of 200 Polish soldiers.  The castle was renovated in 1995.

  • Oregon City Bridge (1922) is a steel through arch bridge spanning the Willamette River between West Linn and Oregon City in the Portland metropolitan area, carrying Oregon Route 43. The bridge was designed by Conde B. McCullough, completed in 1922 and stands alone as the only bridge in Oregon to be encased in gunnite (shotcrete), which protected the steel structural members from corrosive sulfur dioxide emissions from the former paper mills south of the bridge. Notable features include McCullough’s signature detailing in the obelisk pylons, ornate concrete railings, Art Deco piers and Art Deco light sconces. The piers were designed to accommodate public restrooms, and observation balconies; these were closed and sealed in 1937. In 2005 the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

  • Oregon City Bridge (1922) is a steel through arch bridge spanning the Willamette River between West Linn and Oregon City in the Portland metropolitan area, carrying Oregon Route 43. The bridge was designed by Conde B. McCullough, completed in 1922 and stands alone as the only bridge in Oregon to be encased in gunnite (shotcrete), which protected the steel structural members from corrosive sulfur dioxide emissions from the former paper mills south of the bridge.

  • Snow-Reed Bridge (1925) is the oldest bridge in Fort Lauderdale, and the last operational swing span bridge surviving in South Florida. In 1989, 64 years after construction, it was designated a historic landmark and renamed from the Southwest 11th Avenue Bridge to Snow-Reed Bridge, for the two mayors whose terms spanned its 1924-5 construction. The bridge spans the North Fork of the New River and was constructed on the north-south alignment of SW 11th Avenue, connecting the neighborhoods of Riverside and Sailboat Bend. The structure is a Warren Pony Swing Metal Truss – the Pony part being simply a through truss that lacks overhead cross-bracing between the top chords. Nice cantilevered sidewalks appear to have been added at some point. The bridge has no practical vertical clearance, while it obstructs a navigable river, so an on-site bridge operator is required 24/7. A one-year major renovation ending in 2010 added a new octagonal-shaped bridge tender control house while retaining and restoring the original bridge tender’s house. Notable also is this old bridge’s vulnerability to sea-level rise; its swing mechanics are set just inches above sea water tide levels, so the mechanics are repeatedly submerged in salt water. Broward County, Florida, USA.
