the world's most famous ten bridges
1, Tower Bridge in London
Tower Bridge in London is a suspension bridge, located in London, England, across the Thames. It is named because it is near the Tower of London. It is the first bridge from the mouth of the Thames (15 bridges have been built on the Thames). The bridge was built in 1886 and opened to the public on June 3, 1894, connecting the north and south parts of London into a whole.
in the second half of the 19th century, with the development of commerce in the East End of London, there was a demand for a new bridge across the Thames at the lower reaches of London Bridge. But this bridge can't be built as a traditional fixed bridge, because it will cut off the port facilities between the London Bridge and the Tower of London at that time. If the new bridge is too low, the ship can't drive to the dock. In 187, a pedestrian underpass under the Thames was opened, but it still could not replace the need of a new bridge.

unlike ordinary bridge construction, engineers have come up with a unique construction method for MillauBridge, which spans two plateaus. First, the bridge deck and the bridge deck are built in other places, and then the two huge bridge decks are gradually moved from the two plateaus to the piers by using the hydraulic engine system, and finally closed in the center of the bridge.
