I went with the Golden Gate Bridge.That pic shows how beautiful it just is.Tower Bridge was in close second and than the Viaduc de Millau Bridge (Millau, FR) in third

[jmancuso]

hah, i like all of them about the same...incl. that dannish/swedish bridge.

[JARdan]

Viaduc de Millau.

[london-b]

[mongozx]

i was gonna vote for the GG but the Viaduc de Millau Bridge looks pretty sick. . . .

[CrazyCanuck]

Viaduc de Millau takes the cake with height and beauty to boot, but Golden gate is a close second, a timeless classic.

[willo]

Golden gate is the most beautiful for me

[El_Greco]

Tower Bridge!!

[B@dGuYoM]

viaduc de millau ;)

[Küsel]

Millau is astonishing. Brooklyn is a modern wonder of the world and Erasmus just beautiful I love also these ones:

[AndrewC]

i like that one in scandanavia that is part bridge part tunnel

[Arpels]

I can choose, they are all nice and we dont have eare athor beautiful bridges like Rio Antirio bridge, Penang Bridge and Vasco da Gama bridge :dunno:

[MoreOrLess]

My personal favourite is actually Brunel's Clifton Suspension bridge in Bristol, great combination of size, design and location.

Sydney Harbour bridge. How comes it's not in the poll?

http://www.geoffknagge.com/photos/Sydney/bridge.jpg

[Azn_chi_boi]

or this Mackinaw Bridge in that connects the UP/LP of Michigan, that goes though and seprate two of the Great Lakes... Michigan + Huron.

http://fellhauer-web.de/photography/gallery/mackinawbridge-w640.jpg

Out of the choices, I pick the Golden Gate Bridge.

Why is the Sydney Harbour Bridge not included? It is way nicer than the bridges mentioned, especially rotterdam! wherever that is. I'm not leaving til i get answers!

[Skyscraperama]

^^ IMHO, Harbour bridge is ugly.

Rotterdam is in the Netherlands. Note to other forumers, not all Australians are so ignorant.

[andypandy]

Sydney Harbour Bridge and that one in Lisbon should at least be on the pole! From the choices given I'm going with le Viaduc de Millau, its just so huge.

[kjetilab]

I voted for the Golden Gate Bridge. It's lines and the setting is just fantastic. Since I'm kinda weak for suspention bridges, my number two is Brooklyn Bridge. The french is just extremly tall and long, a fantastic piece of engineering, but not very nice looking.

The Helgeland cable stayed bridge is also nice... (The towers are around 140 metres high.)

[Hindustani]

Tower Bridge, London is the most beautiful bridge.

[centralized pandemonium]

Kappelenbrücke for me, its so cool.

[Gilgamesh]

Viaduc de Millau...w/o a doubt.

[Macca-GC]

IMHO, Sydney Harbour Bridge is the most beautiful, but lets evaluate this:

Golden Gate Bridge (San Fransisco, US): fantastic, I love this bridge, those shots with the fog going into the bay never get old, absolutely fantastic.

Erasmus Bridge (Rotterdam, NL): Never heard of it.

Tower Bridge (London, UK): Absolutely fantastic, suits London very well, Timeless

Viaduc de Millau Bridge (Millau, FR): It is a feat of engineering, however IMO, Cable-stayed bridges don't look good with more than three spans

Brooklyn Bridge (New York City, US): Looks good from far away, but from photos on the bridge, it just looks messy. A fantastic bridge non the less, from a practical point of view as well and it really does suit New York, but just not for me.

[Brice]

Sydney Harbour bridge. How comes it's not in the poll?

[]

Simply because it is ugly.

HOW ABOUT THE HALO 2 BRIDGE?

[greg_christine]

Of equal importance to the bridge architecture is the setting. The Golden Gate Bridge wins for having both dramatic architecture and a dramatic setting. Some other honorable mentions are as follows:

The Bixby Bridge on the Pacific Coast Highway in California's Big Sur:
http://webpages.charter.net/g.vassilakos/oscb/bixby6.JPG

The New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia:

[Alboboy11]

the french bridge is amazing in what it does...

but london's bridge just looks beautiful

i like the dannish one too

[Landos]

Note to other forumers, not all Australians are so ignorant.

About 95% of them who post to this forum are. And the Sydney Harbor Bridge is hideous.

[lakegz]

^youre kidding right?

well, youre alone with that opinion. I find Sydneys bridge to be one of the most majestic and powerful looking in the world.

my favorite is the Golden Gate Bridge however.

[dewback]

I have to concur with the pessimists, I am not a big fan of Sydney's bridge.

[krull]

[Burnout 3]

i like the millau Viaduct, its my bridge of the month.

[mongozx]

The bridge in putrajaya, Malaysia doesn't have the fame and recognition it deserves. It's definitely one of my top 3 bridges (Golden Gate & Viaduc de Millau being my others).

[Taller, Better]

I voted for the Brooklyn Bridge... always makes me melt when I stand and look
at it at night.
There is something odd about the proportions of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
I wouldn't say it is hideous, but I wouldn't say it is one of the most beautiful,
either.

[Jack Rabbit Slim]

I love all of those bridges, hard to choose one really. Foster did a great job on the Viaduc de Millau Bridge, we Brits have to do everything for ya Frenchies don't we eh? ;) :) Golden Gate is also bloody magnifiscent!

The london and golden gate bridges might top the 'most famous bridges' but IMO they dont even make it to the top 5 'MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDGES'. I will go for the one in france, followed by the dannish and malaysian.

Don't they look alike?

Seri Wawasan bridge, Putrajaya (Malaysia's administrative centre) [and Erasmusbrug, Rotterdam]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b365/jlshyang/KL/9putbr1.jpg

They are the same type (or at least it looks like it). But the design approaches are totally different. The Seri Wawasan Bridge is more frivolous while the Erasmusbrug is more about elegance and simplicity. I like Erasmusbrug better personally, though it wouldn't be my #1 in the world.

anyway.....It's gotta be the Golden Gate, the colour, the setting, and the simple elegance of the design itself. It's stood the test of time so well.

other's to be mentioned, all of the HK bridges, I love HK, and The Verazzano in NYC, I like that for some reason. The ones in Denmark and Sweden are Stunning, and I had the opertunity to go on the Millau, which was breathtaking. But it just has to be the Golden Gate

[ozscorpio7]

Golden Gate wins by far

Its setting is spectacular , the fact that it was built when it was built it was in his time a big feat of engineering too, it has to cope with the sea earthquakes, wind etc. its the most photographed bridge in the world !

And the color just makes it stand out from the rest , there are bridges but only one golden gate . Some bridges have tried to copy that without success.

there are a few bridges missing but the golden gate wins anyway

Most modern bridges these days tend to be (and lets be honest here) pretty much identical - the differences being really only the height and span of the towers and the odd change here and there.




Interestingly for me, the most beautiful bridge in London isn't even Tower Bridge (infact the best bridges of London are all located south of Westminster - ie westwards), for that honour goes to Albert Bridge

How long is the Rafael Urdaneta Bridge?

Que tan largo es el Puente Rafael Urdaneta?

[David D.]

I've always found the Jacques-Cartier bridge in Montreal, Canada (Originally called the Montreal Habour bridge when it was first built) to be quite beautiful. (Canada's second busiest bridge after the Champlain bridge, also located in Montreal.)

It's no Viaduc de Millau but it is to Canada what the Brooklyn Bridge is to the US.

The Jacques-Cartier bridge shares somthing with the Golden Gate bridge in San Fransico which is they are the two top suicide bridges in the world :( (But barriers have been put up as of 2005 on the Jacques-Cartier to try and ward of future attempts). Still for the time it was built it was quite the bridge! It was Montreal's second bridge to span the south shore after the Victoria bridge was built in the 1800's.

Each summer, thousands upon thousands of people stand on the bridge as it is closed to traffic on nights of the fireworks at the Six Flag's LaRonde Amusement park which is next to it on Sainte-Helene's island. LaRonde holds the Montreal International Pyromusical fireworks Competition each summer starting in late June and runs till late July every Saturday night in the beginning and then every Saturday and Wednesday night as well. I can tell u from experience it is truly a wonder to stand on this bridge and get the birds eye view of the fireworks and while enjoying the view of the city as well. BTW the fireworks are launched not very far from the bridge at all so the sound and sights are truly stunning as it is so rare that u can watch such a thing from such a high and close yet safe vantage point.

And the nearby Champlain Bridge (Busiest bridge in Canada, one of the busiest in the world, 3rd or 4th in North America), but maybe not quite as beautiful, this bridge is Montreal's longest and spans from Montreal to the south shore going over Nun's island and was built in the late 1950s early 1960's, orginally was to be called The Nun's Island bridge. Also another thing this bridge is known for is having the only opposite direction of traffic reserved bus lane on a bridge in North America! According to the Canadian bridge corporation, Approximately 49 million vehicles cross the Champlain Bridge every year, and 196 million people making it one of the busiest bridges in the world.

1. Viaduc de Millau Bridge
2. Akashi kaikio Bridge

[gladisimo]

I can't rank these bridges, they are all unique in their own rights, as well as style.

Golden Gate bridge is iconic, and its status, like the Empire State Building, cannot be replaced.

The Brooklyn Bridge, likewise, is so famous it can't be ignored.

The Harbor bridge is also an iconic bridge in its own right, no one can see it without recognizing it.

The Millau Viaduct isn't as famous, probably because its new, but one of the photos show it as "a bridge in the clouds", literally, and that's breathtaking.

But then, the Golden Gate in San Francisco fog is also like that in that respect...

So hard to choose!

Need I say more? The Sydney Harbour Bridge is quintessentially Australian. It's a feat of engineering in its own right, and it adds character to Sydney's skyline in a way that no other landmark could. I know my viewpoint is a very biased one (being born and raised in Sydney), but having crossed the bridge hundreds of times, I can't help but be awed by its timeless beauty. And photographs, as beautiful as some may be, do not do it any justice at all!

[LosAngelesMetroBoy]

I love the sydney harbour bridge because of the gap between the bridge and its 'anchor' towers. It shows that those old arch bridges (like hells gate in new york) didnt need those towers, but they do make it look much more stately. And yes i did the tourist thing and climbed the bridge, great skyline, but like an idiot forgot a camera.

There was an article in the loacal newspaper on the 30th anniversary with a young (now oldish) couple who was in one of the cars teetering on the edge of the bridge. The car is still in tact (and in use) & the old boy is apparently still saying "Stay in the back and don't move".....).

I'm suprised the Harbour Bridge is not in the poll. It is by far one of the world's most known bridges. If any in the poll, I would go for the Brooklyn Bridge. Its my personal favourite.

From this in the poll, I'd choose Millau Viaduct for many reasons: height, technology but to me the most important to me is appearance, and this one in Millau looks so light and is beautifully composed with the scenery of valley. Chapeau bas!

But in general I'd rather choose Charles Bridge in Prague, very magical place!

I also vote for the Erasmusbridge in Rotterdam (Netherlands).

Here are some pictures taken by me over a period of 1½ year.

^^i'd go for the erasmus bridge in rotterdam as well

but as for beauty and simplicity i think that the san juanico bridge in the leyte, philippines wouldn't fall far behind :omg:

Erasmus Bridge and Golden Gate are the best because they were the first coming out with threir styles with a whole new concept of design.
There are many beautiful bridges but they are just copies...
So, Rotterdam and San Franscico! :banana:
Viaduc de Millau Bridge is awesome too.

[harynoorbaetana]

I vote Erasmus Bridge for the best design.
