This bridge is in San Francisco. It is nick named "Bay Bridge." This bridge has one of the longest span in the world. The bridge was began to be built in 1933 and was finished and opened on November 12, 1936. This bridge has 10 10 lanes, an upper level and a lower level, and is connected to highway I-80. The Bay Bridge had been temporarily closed on October 27, 2009 due to the failure of the eastern span, but reopened on November 2.

This bridge was very interesting to me and unusual also. The name of this bridge is octavio frias de oliveira. This bridge opened in May this year and is the first x-shaped cable-stayed bridge. It crosses the Pinheiros river in Sau Paulo. The design of this bridge is very different. It is 450 ft. tall and is attached to 144 steel cables.

I chose this bridge because it reminded me of the arch in St. Louis. This bridges name is JK and is located in Brasilia. It has an elegant bridge design. The bridge has three arches that gives the bridge a nice visual affect. This bridge has one many awards for it's design.

I chose this tunnel because it looked ghostly and scary like some movie that I've watched.
