| Summary: | The design of bridges is an innovative process led by the bridge engineer. The bridge designer needs help from landscape architects and from architects interested in bridge structures to find the most pleasing aesthetic solution and details. Early in the 1990s cable-stayed bridges became popular in Finland. The construction of Lumberjack's Candle Bridge near the Arctic circle attracted much publicity. The bridge celebrated its 20th anniversary in September 2009. The next cable-stayed bridge, Tähtiniemi Bridge in a beautiful lake landscape, was also well accepted. Saame Bridge between Norway and Finland over the valuable salmon and border river Teno continued the story. One of the latest successes will be the new Nguyen Van Troi-Tran Thi Ly cable-stayed bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam. This bridge has an inclined tower, wide deck and special cable arrangements. This paper is about these four beautiful bridges. |
