  • Miaoli County, Sanyi Township, Remains of Longteng Bridge (Taiwan)

    When we saw this picture, we knew we had to go straight to Google.  It led to this, abridged from Wikipedia:  “… built in 1906 during the Japanese colonial period. It was designed by the American civil engineers Theodore Cooper and C.C. Schneider for the Japanese colonial government. The bridge was named after a local plant believed to be poisonous to fish; legends believed that a malevolent carp in a nearby lake was responsible for misfortune, and residents planted the shrub to counter the carp.

    The April 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake and subsequent aftershocks in July damaged the bridge beyond repair. Several masonry arches were cracked and the north and south ends of the truss became misaligned. A new iron bridge was built in 1938, 80 meters to the west of Longteng Bridge, and the central truss was dismantled once the new bridge opened.  The 1999 earthquake caused one of the remaining piers to collapse and as a result, the county government decided to rededicate the bridge’s remains as a monument to the two deadliest earthquakes in Taiwan’s history. It was placed on the list of Taiwan’s Cultural Heritage Assets on 25 November 2003.”

  • Suspension Bridge over Royal Gorge (Colorado, USA)

    The caption on this unused card says “The highest bridge in the world” and that was true when the card was printed.  Now, ranking #13 on Wikipedia’s list, it’s just the highest in the U.S.A.  And what does Wikipedia have to say about the current highest?:  “The rankings of the world’s tallest and highest bridges differ in part because some of the highest bridges are built across deep valleys and gorges. The Sidu River Bridge in Hubei Province of China is a suspension bridge that spans a deep river gorge. The bridge’s two towers, built on either rim of the gorge, are not tall enough for the bridge structure to be counted among the world’s tallest, but due to the depth of the river gorge, the deck height of the Sidu River Bridge is at least 496 m (1,627 ft) above the river, making it the highest bridge in the world. ”  So there!  Grade: 2

    It’s the postcard that says this is the longest suspension bridge.  Time has overtaken the claim, however.  Now, the Mackinac Bridge Authority says:  “The Mackinac Bridge is currently the fifth longest suspension bridge in the world. In 1998, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan became the longest with a total suspension of 12,826 feet. The Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere.”  Anyway, length is measured by the main span.  Unused card.  Grade: 1
