Bridges
My Sunday Selection this week is Bridges here in Australia and some from other countries we have visited.
The Paringa Bridge over the River Murray has been listed as a South Australian heritage bridge since 1989. It is considered to be of state heritage value because of its outstanding construction and design characteristics. The Paringa suspension bridge is an engineering monument and was opened in 1927. It opens twice a day to allow river traffic to pass.

Wayne is a community within the town of Drumheller, Alberta. We visited here in 2007 and were surprised to find the Bridges of Wayne. There are 11 bridges along a 6 km stretch of road from Rosedale to Wayne carrying traffic over the Rosebud River.
Here are a few of the bridges.

In the same area near Drumheller, Alberta, is the Star Mine Suspension Bridge. It is 117 mtr long and crosses the Red Deer River in Drumheller. It was constructed in 1931.

This bridge is 18 km long and links the eastern and western parts of Denmark. We were on a cruise and passed under this bridge around midnight and it was very cold waiting on the deck to get the photos. The bridge is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is only closed on very rare occasions.
