I heard that Kinzua was the fourth tallest bridge in the US, what were the other three?

Thank you in advance.

Here’s my bet for one of them http://www.royalgorgebridge.com/attractions/ride_bridge.htm

You can spit off the bridge and it’ll be dry before it can hit the ground

Did you guys mean the rail bridges?
The highest one in Alaska is 430 ft or so…

5

Yes, I was talking about railroad bridges (sorry for the confusion).

The “Royal Gorge” bridge is a bridge over a rail line [:o)]

The book “Bridges: The Spans of North America”
by David Plowden would probably serve you well. $70 list price, but can be ordered through Barnes & Nobel for about $55
