Nice pictures, astonbuilder! Could please you shed a light to where they are physically located? Somewhere in France/Spain I assume?

How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Took a five hour detour on holiday to see the one in France a few years ago (I like architectural engineering.....).

Better viewed just off the road looking down on it rather than the drive over it

Visited a friend in Yorkshire and they took me 3 times to see the Ribblehead Viaduct but it was so foggy/ misty each time I saw nothing. I doubted it existed but these pics show otherwise😂

yep, even in fairly reasonable weather a bit of mist will drift in and you can't see it or even the HUGE three peaks.....

Scotland 2014 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Indus SilverDiscovery 4

Watched a fascinating series of programmes on Freeview TV recently (endlessly repeated) about bridges. Close up of designing, building and operation. I’m sure someone on here will remember the details. Incredible views from all parts including internally. Bow down
 2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.
