Roosevelt Bridge (Florida)
The Roosevelt Bridge is a major highway segmental bridge across the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida. Carrying U.S. Route 1 (Federal Highway; unsigned State Road 5), it was built to supersede the old Roosevelt Bridge, which had twin parallel drawbridges, one for northbound traffic (opened in 1934, 27 ° 12 ′ 12 ''N 80 ° 15 ′ 35'' W ﻿ / ﻿ 27.203228 ° N 80.259612 ° W ﻿ / 27.203228; - 80.259612) and the other for southbound (opened in 1964, 27 ° 12 ′ 09 ''N 80 ° 15 ′ 35'' W ﻿ / ﻿ 27.202475 ° N 80.259762 ° W ﻿ / 27.202475; - 80.259762). The new bridge, completed in 1996, is raised and much longer than the older twin drawbridges. The southbound span of the old bridge is still functional for road and boat traffic and now carries two - way road traffic for what is now known as Dixie Highway, County Road 707. The new high - level Roosevelt Bridge is approximately one mile long and is made of two three - lane sections running parallel to each other. The northbound bridge was completed first, and housed two lanes of both north and south - bound traffic until the second bridge was finished.

Puente Blanco
The Puente Blanco () is a historic railway bridge that spans hundred and fifty feet deep and thirty six metres wide gorge across the Quebrada Mala Canyon, near Quebradillas, Puerto Rico. The bridge is the only reinforced concrete bridge in the area and the highest of its kind in Puerto Rico. It was built in 1922 by the American Railroad Company to replace a 1907 steel bridge as part of the construction of the national railway system that connected the island during the first half of the twentieth century. It was built on a concrete platform that held the existing steel bridge without interrupting the passage of the railway. The new bridge could hold two locomotives of 84 tons each. It was designed by Etienne Totti from Yauco who was the head engineer for the company. The bridge was restored by the municipality of Quebradillas, unfortunately as part of the repair the base was widened altering the character of the structure and hindering the view of the bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Old Sartell Bridge
The Old Sartell Bridge is a bridge that spans the Mississippi River in the city of Sartell in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Though still standing, it is closed to traffic and was replaced by the Sartell Bridge constructed about 850 feet downstream. The bridge is around 1000 feet downstream of the Sartell Dam. The bridge was built during a six-month period in 1914, but over the years the bridge became congested and less able to carry heavy traffic. As early as 1957, heavy trucks were found to be too much for the span. When the new bridge was built in 1984, the old bridge was used as a pedestrian footbridge, but it became impractical for this use since there is now a factory at the east end. The bridge now carries only utility lines.

An older vertical lift drawbridge was destroyed on July 28, 1942, after being struck by the tanker "Franz Klasen". The bridge is identical in appearance to the old St. Georges Bridge in Delaware (they were constructed roughly at the same time) except for the number of lanes.
