The South Portland Street Suspension Bridge connecting Laurieston to the centre of Glasgow. Designed by Alexander Kirkland and George Martin, it was built in 1851 to replace an earlier wooden footbridge. When it first opened it cost a halfpenny to cross it. In the distance is the Glasgow Bridge (now known more commonly as the Jamaica Street Bridge), which was built in the 1890s to replace earlier bridges constructed in 1833 and 1772.

Trianon Park, looking towards the street, Peixoto Gomide. The park spans two city blocks, with a bridge in the middle over one of the roads. It is in the centre of São Paulo, opposite the main art museum, planted with trees and vegetation typical of Atlantic rainforest.

This type of bridge was first invented by William Scherzer in the 1890s and works by using a rolling action to raise and lower the roadway. This is made easier by the positioning of a large counter weight mounted at one end above the tracks on which it rotates up and down (visible in the top middle of the photo).
