Do you ever wonder how brilliant minds crated bridges all over the world since Roman times without the use of cranes or sophisticated laser guidance or modern materials and techniques ? The truly  interesting fact is that most of  those structures are still in use today.Probably this fact motivated modern engineers to design and build bridges that would blow Gustave Eiffel’s mind. Let’s take a look at some fabulous engineering wonders.
