Depending on the type of bridge, it could be the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Boston, Massachusetts, USA or the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia. "The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that carries eight lanes of the Interstate 93 and U.S. Route 1 concurrency, plus a two lane access ramp, across the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts...The bridge replaced the Charlestown High Bridge when it opened, and is the world's widest cable-stayed bridge." "The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore...According to Guinness World Records, it is the world's widest long-span bridge and its tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 metres (429.6 ft) from top to water level. It is also the fourth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakim_Bunker_Hill_Bridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Harbour_Bridge Nov 25 08, 3:03 PM
