BEAUTIFUL BRIDGES!

Across the U.S., the bridge is soaring back to the top of the planning agenda. New and restored bridges have begun to emerge as showboat designs, simple structures, or widened old routes. This article provides an overview of a number of new aesthetically pleasing bridge designs, citing examples such as Boston's new cable-stayed Bunker Hill Zakim Bridge and Redding, California's Sundial Bridge linking the Turtle Bay Exploration Park with the entrance to the city's Sacramento River Trail system.
