Description

This group is for bridge enthusiasts. The bridge you drive across, NOT the card game. We talk about lots of bridges ("many spans"). Discussion about anything bridge-related is allowed. Feel free to talk about new bridges being built in your area, fond recollections of visits to bridges, bridges of yesteryear, bridge collectibles and artifacts, local bridge celebrations, railroad bridges, arches, cantilevers, suspension bridges, trusses, and all related civil engineering topics. You don't need to be an engineer to participate. Everything 'bridge' goes!

Re: News: Owners want to demolish/replace Portage Viaduct
Thanks Eric. Interesting info on the historical lists of highest bridges. I was expecting to see the Cascade Bridge (NY) on one of these lists but apparently

Re: News: Owners want to demolish/replace Portage Viaduct
The railroad has been planning to replace the Portage trestle for years and it would obviously be easy for them to build a newer, parallel span 100 feet
