Åland - Farjsund Bridge 法爾森德橋

 

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。

Recognized as an outstanding historic place, Richmond Bridge was included in the Australian National Heritage List on 25 November 2005.

里奇蒙橋是一座由囚犯勞工建造的大沙石拱橋，横跨柯爾河，位於距塔斯曼尼亞州府霍巴特以北25公里的里奇蒙。里奇蒙橋是澳洲現今仍舊在使用最老的橋。
皇家專員約翰‧比格於1820年認可了建築該橋的必要性，橋梁早期因而命名為比格橋。里奇蒙橋奠基於1823年12月11日，於1825年竣工。
里奇蒙橋被認定為重要的歷史遺蹟，於2005年11月25日登入澳洲遺產列表。

25th of April Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril) is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tejo River.
With a total length of 2,277.64 meters, the upper platform carries six car lanes, the lower platform two train tracks. Because of its similar coloring, it is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA. In fact, it was built by the same company (American Bridge Company) that constructed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
It was inaugurated on August 6, 1966. The bridge was original named Salazar Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Salazar). Soon after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, the bridge was renamed. A train platform was added in 1999.

Pont du Gard means literally bridge of the Gard River. The Gard River, which has given its name to the Gard département, does not actually exist under this name. The river, formed by many tributaries, several of which are called Gardon, is itself called Gardon until its end. Built on three levels, the Pont is 49 meters high, and the longest level is 275 meters long. On its first level, it carries a road and at the top of the third level, a water conduit, which is 1.8 meters high and 1.2 meters wide.

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 was built between 1171 and 1185, with an original length of about 900 meters, but it suffered frequent collapses during floods and was reconstructed several times. Eventually, after a catastrophic flood in 1668, the bridge was abandoned and no further repair was attempted. Today only four of the initial 22 arches remain intact. The bridge has achieved worldwide fame through the song "Sur le pont d'Avignon" ("On the bridge of Avignon").

聖貝內澤橋，或稱阿維尼翁橋，是一座著名的中世紀橋梁，橫跨位於法國南部阿維尼翁城市附近的羅納河。橋梁建於1171年到1185年間，原來的長度約為900公尺，但它經常遭受洪水災害，多次倒塌再重建，最後於1668年遭遇一次超級大洪水，橋梁大部分都被沖毀因而被放棄，沒有進一步的試圖去修復。今天，在原始22個拱門只殘餘4個保存不變。透過歌曲《在阿維尼翁橋》，這座橋已廣泛為世人所熟知。
