Stamp Issue : 2009-11-16

Guangji Bridge (aka Xiangzi Bridge) is a pontoon bridge situated in the east of Chaozhou in Guangdong Province. Crossing the Han River, the bridge is renowned as one of the four most famous ancient bridges in China with the other three being the Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge and Lugou Bridge.
Built in 1170 during the Southern Song Dynasty, originally a wooden pontoon bridge, the stone bridge took 57 years to complete, was 515 meters long and known as Jizhou Bridge. The two beamed sections were supported by 18 piers. Due to turbulent current, a bridge could not be built in the middle section that was about 100 meters wide. Small ferryboats were used to transport between the two beamed sections instead.
Renovated in 1435 (the 10th year of Xuande Empeor of the Ming Dynasty), the bridge was extended by erecting five more piers and 12 pavilions. It was renamed to Guangji Bridge. During the reign of Zhengde Emperor (1505–1521), another pier was erected which gave a total of 24 piers, all made in granite. The two beamed sections were connected by chaining 18 shuttle boats to form a pontoon which served as a gate that could be open and close. The boats could be disconnected to allow large boats and rafts passage, and then reconnected to return to their original position. This was the first switchable stone bridge in China and in the world, an innovation that set a precedent in bridge-building history.
Guangji Bridge was renovated many times since. In 2003, the bridge was fully restored to its original appearance and completed in June 2007.

公元1435年 (明宣德十年) 重修，並增建五墩，橋上修築樓閣12座, 稱廣濟橋；正德年間，又增建一墩，總共24墩。橋墩用花崗石塊砌成。中段用18艘梭船聯成浮橋，能開能合，當大船、木排通過時，可以將浮橋中的浮船解開，讓船隻、木排通過。然後再將浮船歸回原處。這是中國、也是世界上最早的一座開關活動式大石橋。為橋建築界歷史創下先河。
後多次修建。廣濟橋2003年全面重修，2007年6月竣工。

Angers Bridge, also called the Basse-Chaîne Bridge (Pont de la Basse-Chaîne), spanned the Maine River near Château d'Angers, a medieval castle, in the city of Angers in the Maine-et-Loire department in north-western France.
Designed by Joseph Chaley and Bordillon and constructed between 1836 and 1839 and, it was a suspension bridge spanning 102 meters. The bridge collapsed suddenly in 1850 when 478 French Soldiers were marching across it, which caused 226 fatalities. The tragic accident made France halt all its ongoing constructions of suspension bridges for 20 years.
To replace the collapsed one, a 6-arch stone bridge was built at the same location starting 1851. It was completed and opened on April 4th, 1856. In memory of the dead soldiers, a commemorative plaque was installed by the side of the bridge. In 1960 the stone bridge was removed and then replaced by a girder bridge of reinforced concrete.

Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) is one of the three bridges that spans the Grand Canal and one of the most ancient bridge in the Renaissance style in Venice, Italy.
Built in 1181, the bridge was originally a pontoon bridge, then rebuilt into a wooden bridge in 1225. As it had been burned and collapsed before, it requires special care and maintenance. Numerous proposals were made to have the bridge rebuild in stone since 1503. It wasn't until 1588 that the reconstruction of the bridge was finally started. Antonio da Ponte, the architect designed and converted the bridge into a single arch stone bridge which was finally completed in 1591.
With two inclined ramps, full of shops and stalls on both sides, covered by a portico, unique in its shape, the bridge has a 28.80 meters main span, is 48 meters long, 22.90 meters wide, 7.32 meters high and becomes a representative piece of Venice architecture.

Stamp Issue : 1987-04-27

Farjsund Bridge is an important construction to Aland Islands. Up until the late 18th century, the transportation between the villages counted on a rowing boat of a ferryboat connecting over the sound. Until 1922, the ferryboat was replaced by motor-ferry. Amongst the 30 plans submitted for a suspension bridge with 3.6 meters wide wooden roadway, the plan that included a concrete suspension bridge was approved. The bridge was inaugurated on July 1, 1937 with roadway 191.2 meters long, presumably the longest continuous concrete roadway in the world at that time.
Traffic on the bridge went smoothly over 30 years, but as the traffic increased, the bridge was too narrow to handle the load safely. Farjsund Bridge was then rebuilt in 1980. The bridge span measures 130 meters, the width 11.8 meters and the length 202.6 meters.

法爾森德橋對奧蘭這個島嶼來說是項重要的建設，之前直到十八世紀後期為止，村莊之間的交通一直依賴著小型渡船上的小搖船。直到1922年，機動渡船替代了小型渡船，並計劃建一條3.6公尺寬木行道吊橋。從30個提交的計劃書中，其中一包括建混凝土拱橋方案的計劃書獲得批准。新橋於1937年7月1日落成，長191.2公尺，為當時世界最長的混凝土行道。
此橋順利使用了超過30年，由於車輛的數量及載重量不斷的增加，原橋也發現過於狹窄及安全負荷不足，於是1980年再度重新設計改建為一座跨度130公尺，寬11.8公尺和長202.6公尺的新橋。

Saint-Benezet Bridge or d'Avignon Bridge (Pont Saint-Bénezet, or Pont d'Avignon), is a famous medieval bridge spanning the Rhône River near the town of Avignon, in southern France.

The bridge has achieved worldwide fame through the song "Sur le pont d'Avignon" ("On the bridge of Avignon").

New Bridge (Pont Neuf) is the oldest standing bridge spanning the river Seine in Paris, France. Its name, which was given to distinguish it from older bridges that were lined on both sides with houses, has remained.
Standing by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was the heart of medieval Paris, it connects the Rive Gauche of Paris (South of Paris) with the Rive Droite. It was the first stone bridge in Paris, has 278 meters in long and 28 meters in wide. The bridge is composed of two separate spans, one of five arches joining the left bank to the Île de la Cité, another of seven joining the island to the right bank.
The bridge had heavy traffic from the beginning; it was for a long time the widest bridge in Paris. The bridge has undergone much repair and renovation work, including rebuilding the bridge spans and changing the arches from an almost semi-circular to elliptical form (1848–1855), In 1885, one of the piers of the short arm was undermined, removing the two adjacent arches.
A major restoration of the Pont Neuf was begun in 1994 and was completed in 2007, the year of its 400th anniversary.

新橋是法國巴黎塞納河上最古老的橋，「新橋」這個名稱是為了從許多連結兩岸的橋梁中區別出來而取的。
新橋位於西堤島（位於塞納河的中心，也是巴黎歷史的核心）的西邊，連結巴黎的左岸（巴黎的南部）與右岸。新橋是巴黎第一座石拱橋，長278公尺，寬28公尺，可以分成兩個部分，西堤島與左岸之間的部分有5個拱，與右岸連接的部分則有7個拱。
在新橋剛建造完成時，通過它的交通狀況相當繁忙。在一段長的時期中，新橋是巴黎最寬的橋樑。新橋多次歷經修復及更新，包括重建橋拱，讓橋拱從半圓形變成橢圓形（1848年至1855年之間）。1885年時，一支橋墩塌陷，並使得鄰近的兩個拱位置偏移。
從1994年新橋開始進行一次大規模修復，並於2007年完成，以慶祝它的400週年。

St-Ursanne Bridge spanning River Doubs in the small town of St-Ursanne, Switzerland. The monastery, first documented about 850 and the Doubs bridge dating from 1728 are two top attractions in this town, famous as a beautiful bijou.
A first bridge must have stood around 1440. It can be assumed that it was also built of wood, as was one known from an earlier 16th century depiction of the town. Chroniclers reported that the winter in 1670 was so cold that even the wine in the cellars froze. At that time the wooden bridge was destroyed by ice flowing down the Doubs. The bridge subsequently built in 1728/29 by master builder Brunet to plans by Advocate Humbert, was adorned by the figure of Nepomuk, who appears to gaze up river to the site of the former bridge.

Charles Bridge (Karlův most) is a famous historical bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau), the Charles Bridge was the most important connection between the Old Town, Prague Castle and adjacent areas until 1841. This "solid-land" connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. The bridge was originally called the Stone Bridge (Kamenný most) or the Prague Bridge (Pražský most) but has been the "Charles Bridge" since 1870.
The bridge is 516 meters long and nearly 10 meters wide, resting on 16 arches shielded by ice guards. It is protected by three bridge towers, two of them on the Lesser Quarter side and the third one on the Old Town side. The Old Town bridge tower is often considered to be one of the most astonishing civil gothic-style buildings in the world. The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues and statuaries, most of them baroque-style, erected around 1700.
During the night the Charles Bridge is a quiet place. But during the day it changes its face into a very busy place, with painters, owners of kiosks and other traders alongside numerous tourists crossing the bridge.

查理大橋長516米，寬約10米，16個橋拱，兩端有3座橋塔，其中兩座位於布拉格小城一側，一座位於布拉格老城一側。老城橋塔經常被認為是世界上最令人驚訝的世俗哥德式建築之一。該橋上安放有30座雕塑，其中多數為巴洛克風格，豎立於1700年前後。
