The Guess That Bridge thread!

[Bruce]

Is it US 101 over the Calawah River (near Forks, WA)?

Nope.

[dlsterner]

One of medium difficulty:

Is it US 2 over the Sultan River (near Sultan, WA)?

You got it.

My next submission ... I couldn't find anything too tricky so I'll post this.  Shouldn't be too difficult.

However, a twist ... you must name all three bridges to get credit!

Charlie South. The Ravenel Bridge replaced the Grace and Pearman Bridges.

1995hoo, correct!  Your turn!

1995hoo, correct!  Your turn!

I'll post something tomorrow or Monday. Give me a little time.

Ok, here we go. Had to get a picture from my PC. This is from June 2012. I'm sure it's much too easy, but at least it's a different angle.

The Sunshine Skyway bridge in the Tampa Bay area?

Of course. As I said, much too easy, but I still like the picture. You're up next.

[Sapphuby]

I'll let someone else post, I'm in the guessing mood, but not in the posting mood.

To keep the thread moving, I'll post one I took in 2005. Again far too easy as this is a bit of an iconic view.

[Sapphuby]

I have it; however, I'll see if the thread is alive enough for someone else to get it

I recognized it, since I visited Stanley Park about a decade after 1995hoo in 2015. It's the Lion's Gate Bridge, Canada's equivalent of the Golden Gate.

Yeah. I was thinking to myself, "why would I guess twice in a row just to not post the image, twice in a row?" That's why I didn't answer. Otherwise I would've

[1995hoo]

You're correct. That view of the bridge is familiar enough that I figured people would recognize it even if they hadn't been to Vancouver. I first saw that view in The Canadian Book of the Road in the early 1980s and it was instantly familiar when I finally got there in person. I think my mom still has my father's copy of that book, but it's extremely out-of-date by now in terms of mapping, at least in the most populated areas, and I'd be reluctant to rely on a book published in the late 1970s for tourist information for rather obvious reasons! (A Google search reveals that Reader's Digest published a book with a similar name in 1993. I'm referring to the Canadian Automobile Association book with the brown cover that was published in 1979. I don't know whether the Reader's Digest book is an update to the CAA book I loved as a kid, but the way the words "Book of the Road" are designed on the cover to include map excerpts suggests it might be.)

After I took that photo, we walked from there to our hotel near BC Place (the football stadium) with a stop for lunch at the Fish House in Stanley Park (now closed, sadly). The guy at the hotel thought that was an insanely long walk, but it's only about 7 km.

webny99 gets to post the next photo should he wish to do so.

Anyone can jump in if they'd like, otherwise I'll get one up tomorrow.

Next up, this one is certainly not as famous as the previous one, but it is a named bridge and an important connector:

Well, that was quick. You are of course correct, link here.

That one wasn't going to last too long as there aren't many "S" shaped bridges with draw spans on them.

This one might also be easy.

This looks remarkably similar to the US 60 bridge over the Tennessee River.

[BrianP]

It made me think of I-64 over the Kanawha River.  But nope.

[plain]

Great guesses! But no.

Williamstown Bridge (OH 60)?
