New River Gorge Bridge.
With a main span of 1,700 feet, the New River Gorge Bridge was the world’s longest steel arch span until 2003. It is still second only to the Lupu Bridge in Shanghai. Photo from the West Virginia Department of Transportation Web site.

Bridges are structures that carry pedestrian or vehicular traffic over natural or artificial obstacles, including roads or highways, railroads, and rivers or other bodies of water. Bridges may be classified either by structure, e.g., suspension, truss, arch, etc., by function, e.g., pedestrian, highway, railroad, etc., or by material, e.g., wood, stone, steel, concrete, etc. This guide includes materials on the design and construction of bridges, as well as resources on how to manage, inspect, maintain, repair, rehabilitate, and preserve bridges.
Not intended as a comprehensive bibliography, this compilation is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target." A related guide, TB 08-3, Infrastructure and Public Works, which lists materials on the public infrastructure, its history and development, and proposals for its maintenance and improvement, may also be of interest. This and other recent Tracer Bullets are available online at URL: http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/.
