In fact, they’ve been used as crucial links in regions around the world since forever ago – some even became city icons because their influence and engineering wonder inspired others to build more such spans next door or across town.
Here’s a list containing 14 famous bridge names:

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the world’s most famous bridges and can be found spanning across this wonderful harbor in Australia.

I was once on a cruise ship that passed by the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It is an awe-inspiring sight!

Top 5: Rialto Bridge
The Rialto Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in history. It’s also kind of like an old broken down ASCII art character that meanders through town, looking for all intents and purposes abandoned but still holding sentimental value with those who know what they’re looking at even if you can’t make out any individual letters or numbers on its surface due to years worth corrosion from acid rain – which really screws everything up when it gets wet because then there will be no tomorrow (or maybe just not enough left).
