mackinac bridge
What is the longest swing bridge in US?
AnswerChoate Bridge - Constructed in 1764, it is the oldest documented bridge in Massachusetts and the second oldest documented bridge in the United States. State Route 1A (South Main Street) over the Ipswich River in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Too much disagreement on which bridge is actually THE OLDEST bridge in US. According to Wikipedia encyclopedia, the Frankford Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia is the oldest (see: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankford_Avenue_Bridge). According to this article, the bridge was built in 1697 or 1698. It is also known as the Pennypack Creek Bridge, the Holmesburg Bridge, and the King's Highway Bridge (probably it's original name).*Actually this answer is false. The oldest bridge in the US is the old stone arch bridge next to the jewel mill (glen mill) in Rowley, MA. Built in 1643 and is still in use today.
How much does a bridge weigh?
Can you give us some idea of the size of bridge you're referring to? Firstly, how long is it? If it's a suspension bridge do you include all the shore anchorages in the weight? What is it made from - stone, brick, steel, wood, for example? Is the whole of the bridge made from the same thing? What sort of load is it meant to carry?
When was the Abercynon suspension bridge built and how and when was it destroyed?
The suspension bridge (swinging bridge to us who used it) was built for the miners from the Carnetown area to get to Abercynon colliery. It was destroyed because it became unsafe. I'm afraid I don't know the exact dates but I can hazard a guess that it was built in the beginning of the 20th century & was demolished in the late 1940`s or early 1950`s Further information: The Bridge was apparently built in 1898. The bridge became unsafe due to flooding in 1942 (some sources say it was destroyed). However the exact date of demolition is unclear as other sources suggest that the bridge deck was replaced in the early 50's suggesting it remained intact until then. Please see the related links.
