Forth Bridge (United Kingdom)
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and though of as a symbol of Scotland, this cantilever railway bridge crosses the Firth of Forth, which is in eastern Scotland, nine miles to the west of Edinburgh City Center. Sir Benjamin Baker and Sir John Fowler, English engineers, designed the construct. In 1890, when it opened, this bridge had the longest spans (541 meters) in the world. To this day, it still carries freight and passengers. The Forth Bridge marks a key achievement in the design and construction of bridges during the time when railways dominated long-distance land travel.
