This is a collection of web pages focusing on bridges and other river
structures that do not fit within the scope of one of my main bridges
and structures projects. There is no set criteria for a bridge or
structure to be included here other than it has to appeal to the
author's senses.
Please note that this is an open-ended collection, and it will grow over time.
