The Millau Viaduct is unbelievable.

Also cool: Manhattan, George Washington, Williamsburg, Bayonne, Hell Gate, Akashi Kaikyo (sp?), Menai Strait, Britannia (demolished, sadly), Pont Neuf, Henry Avenue Bridge here in Philly, and the Tunkhannock Viaduct.

The Brooklyn Bridge is probably the awesomest bridge I've ever been across, though.

Of the bridges that I've been on that are my favourites:

Burrard Street Bridge, Vancouver
Alex Fraser Bridge, Metro Vancouver
Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver
Port Mann Bridge, Metro Vancouver
High Level Bridge, Edmonton

There are many other bridges that I think are beautiful, but seeing as I don't travel, these are the favourites that I've been on.
