The Forth Railway Bridge is one of my favourite bridges to be found anywhere in the World. Construction commenced in 1882, taking 7 years to complete. The design is called a balanced cantilever. Structural engineers who design bridges must also possess an intimate knowledge of how they will be constructed. Has anyone on the forum travelled across it? To think that the only form of road transport that existed at the time of construction was a horse and cart!!
