New Technology for Building Bridges
The Texas Highway Department (now TxDOT) bridge engineers problem-solved ways to build new bridges quickly and cheaply in the mid-twentieth century. Developing and using new technology and materials like welding, pre-stressed concrete, and neoprene, Texas led the nation in bridge design and construction.
Stories of Texas Bridges - TxDOT Roadside Chat
For years, Texans have traveled across miles of bridges throughout the state. These bridges connect communities, feature one of a kind designs, and even provide shelter for some unique critters. TxDOT is on a mission to bridge these gaps in history. This webinar from July 21, 2021, covers stories of Texas bridges, such as the rehabilitation of a unique historic bridge, and how bridges shelter Texas critters. Learn about TxDOT’s historic bridge program and the importance of our bridges across the state!
Boundaries and Bridges
It seems to be in our nature to draw lines that separate us from this or that. Rivers offer a convenient way for us to draw some of those lines, those boundaries, especially big rivers. In this episode, I tell a few stories about how we’ve used the Mississippi River to draw political lines, some of which didn’t quite go according to plan. I also look at how the Mississippi River marked a boundary between freedom and oppression for pre-Civil War African Americans in St. Louis and dig into the troubles we’ve made for ourselves by trying to define a hard boundary between land and water along a big river. We eventually, inevitably, built bridges—over a hundred of them!—to span the Mississippi and make crossing that boundary much easier. I take a look at what was involved in building a few of the earliest bridges, from the very first bridge to span the river to its most enduring. In the Mississippi Minute, I offer a tribute to a friend who passed away this year, David Lobbig, and wonder who will pick up his legacy of busting boundaries.

10 Bridges You Won't Walk On Even for $1 Million
People learned to build bridges many centuries ago. At first, they were questionable constructions made of stones, wood, and even tree roots. But nowadays, bridges have turned into magnificent structures able to withstand huge strain. And still, some bridges are so bizarre and scary that not everyone would dare to step on them!

SUMMARY:
- #1. The construction looms 186 ft above the water’s surface, and they say that when the weather is bad, you can't see the shore from the middle of the bridge. All things combined, it creates an eerie feeling of being suspended in some kind of nerve-racking limbo.
- #2. At 410 ft long, this is the longest curved suspension bridge in the world. The deck of Sky Bridge is 2,170 ft above sea level, among the mountain peaks, and boy, that's a sight to behold!
- #3. This bridge held the title of the world's highest from 1929, when it was completed, till 2001, when Liuguanghe Bridge in China surpassed it by 19 ft.
- #4. The tallest bridge in the world seems to be floating over the river Tarn's gorge valley in southern France. The total length of the bridge is 8,070 ft, and its maximum height is a whopping 1,125 ft above the ground!
- #5. This is one of the longest and oldest teakwood footbridges in the world. Besides, it's probably one of the most photographed as well!
- #6. The world's longest glass bridge, opened in 2017, hangs over a picturesque canyon in the Hebei province of China. About 1,600 ft long and more than 700 ft high, the bridge is paved with 1,077 glass panels!
- #7. The walkway isn't particularly long, only 200 ft, but the view that is waiting is breathtaking. Everyone using the pathway has to wear special anti-slip shoe covers.
- #8. This is the largest rigid-frame bridge in Japan, even though it looks more like a twisted roller coaster for drivers! The structure has incredibly steep inclines on both sides, and at first sight, you may doubt that a regular car is able to climb the bridge.
- #9. The locals call this construction the drunk bridge. Its length is only 850 ft, but the curve of the bridge that protrudes over the Norwegian Sea plays a funny visual trick on motorists.
-#10. The modern version of the Seven Mile Bridge was completed in 1982, and its construction cost was about $45 million.

Burning Bridges - Stopping Lateral Movement via the RPC Firewall
In Windows based environments, RPC is the main underlying protocol required for remote administration and for Active Directory services. As such, it is often used by IT admins, but also by ransomware and advanced attackers to spread by creating remote services, scheduled tasks, DCOM objects, etc. It is also a major component in the persistency phase of attacks such as active directory DCSync, and even DC vulnerabilities such as Zerologon. The issue for defenders is that defending against remote RPC attacks is not trivial...

Raising Bridges
Increasing the vertical clearance of overhead bridges allows today’s oversized freight to move easier throughout Kansas. Since 2016, KTA has “raised” 51 bridges, with more planned in the future. In this video, we'll show you how we elevate bridges!
Why The Bridges is Standing Out
One community that is catching everyones attention is The Bridges at Preston Crossings,
As growth continues to move north with the Dallas Tollway expansion, buyers are looking that way to get a little more open space but still have that quick access to city conveniences.
This exclusive, custom home community offers spacious 1/3 to 1 acre sites with resort-style amenities unmatched in North Texas.
Why is it standing out above other master-planned communities in DFW?
Bridges rise to permit sailboats to move down the middle of downtown Chicago, Illinois
Shot on my Lumix still camera from the 15th floor of our hotel through our hotel room window on E. Wacker Drive in Chicago in mid-October, 2012. About 10 am. That's the Wabash Ave bridge over the Chicago River opened to permit the sailboats to proceed. Lake Michigan lies to the right about 1 mile away. The State St (that great street) bridge lies next down the river.
Building Bridges between West and East
???? Establishing Connections: Bridging the Gap between West and East ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
With a profound commitment to fostering harmonious relations between the West and the East, my objective is to construct bridges that span the geographical and cultural divides that exist today.
Regrettably, the endeavor of building bridges has become an uncommon pursuit in our contemporary world, as emphasis tends to be placed on differences rather than recognizing our shared humanity.
As an unwavering advocate of global unity, I firmly uphold the belief that regardless of our color, ethnicity, or creed, we are fundamentally interconnected. Allow me to recount a personal anecdote that beautifully encapsulates this sentiment. During a journey with a close companion who had never ventured beyond their homeland, upon arriving in a foreign nation, my companion turned to me with awe and exclaimed, Remarkably, they perform bodily functions just like us! This humble observation served as a powerful reminder of our universal human experiences.
Let us, therefore, unite our efforts and erect a symbolic bridge ????, fostering a deeper understanding and empathy between diverse cultures. It is my sincere conviction that through such endeavours, we can celebrate our shared traits while surmounting our disparities.
Wishing you an exceptional day, esteemed reader. ????

Part Two Some tales about John Law and the Bridges of the World
This video was captured on December 9, 2008 at Proteus Gowannus during the book release of The Space Between by John Law, published by Furnace Press. In celebration of the release of John Law's debut publication, Mr Law treated the attendees to a discussion and slide show of photos he and his friends had shot during their activities revolving the climbing of bridges, including, but not limited to his clandestine adventures in the Suicide Club during the 70's, 80's and 90's.
For more information about the book by John Law:
For some but not nearly all of the information about Mr Law:
Разводные мосты Санкт-Петербурга / Movable bridges of Saint Petersburg
Разводной мост — особый тип моста, имеющий подвижное пролётное строение для обеспечения пропуска судов. Разводные мосты, как правило, строят на судоходных реках и каналах в плотной застройке, когда другими способами «развязать» наземный транспорт и судоходство не удаётся.
------------------------------------
A moveable bridge, or movable bridge is a bridge that moves to allow passage for boats or barges. In American English, moveable bridge and drawbridge are synonymous, and the latter is the common term, but drawbridge can be limited to the narrower, historical definition used in some other forms of English, in which drawbridge refers only to a specific type of moveable bridge.
