More Than Just a Means of Transportation: The Tallest Bridges and Longest Railways

The oldest bridge on the list, the Pont du Gard in the south of France was constructed in the first century AD for the purpose of conveying water to an ancient Roman colony. To this day, it’s one of the best-preserved bridges of the period.

Thanks to its importance as a Roman aqueduct bridge, it was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
