Standing at 400 feet at its tallest point, the Cold Spring Canyon Arch Bridge is the largest steel arch bridge, as well as one of the highest bridges in the United States. Built by US Steel’s American Bridge division and Massman Construction Co. and officially opened in February 1964, the bridge is located on State Route 154, between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez. In 1976, the American Society of Civil Engineers designated the Cold Spring Canyon Arch Bridge as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
Through its lifetime, the bridge had undergone a number of developments, from a seismic retrofitting in 1998 to the installation of a 9.5 foot tall barrier in 2012. The addition was in response to the 55 suicides that had taken place at the bridge

The Glamis Road Bascule Bridge was constructed in East London in the 1930s. Commissioned by the Port of London Authority (PLA), this movable bridge has become a distinctive landmark. Its bascule function enabled the bridge to roll back on its base allowing ships to pass underneath. Surviving World War II, the fully-functioning movable bridge was finally restored as a fixed bridge in the 1980s. Yet, the bridge was degraded and in need of repair to restore it to its former iconic hue.
