I would like to know what the top 100 or so highest bridges in the US are.
The height of the bridge in this case being the maximum vertical measurement between the road or railway deck to the ground or water below it.
Any information whatsoever would be appreciated!
If you know of any bridges in the US that are more than 100 feet high let me know!
