I've been reading about bridges for the last two hours.

The Frankford Avenue Bridge was built in 1697 and continues to carry traffic. Its amazing to think of the people and vehicles that have traveled over a structure that old. It predates the United States and probably carried everything from horses to trucks.
It has a higher structural rating than the much younger (though heavily utilized) Poplar Street Bridge connecting St Louis MO to East St Louis IL.

Simply impressive.
Old bridge is old.
