- Clifton Suspension Bridge has become an essential piece of transport infrastructure with thousands of people and vehicles crossing every day. It was originally designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, in 1831, as part of a competition entry.
Brunel died in 1859 before work on the bridge began but his colleagues at ICE decided to complete the bridge as a fitting tribute to his work. Work restarted using the new design in 1862.

I visited it last week and it is well worth the trip. A magnficent structure and quite breathtaking in its scope. It felt very strange walking over it and looking below. Brunel was a genius. When they built structures in his day they built them to last. Perhaps Brunel's greatest achievements though can still be seen on the Great Western Railway not the one around in his day but the one that passes for a railway service. They still use his tunnels and bridges thank God because if they tried to build some it would be a disaster. He would turn in his grave if he knew of the incompetence and short-sightedness that now pass for our railway system.
My 12-yr-old son is there today visiting the bridge and sent me a photo of him giving it a hug, which feels like the appropriate response to the beauty and magnificence of engineering. :)
And i kinda wanna be called "Bridgemaster" now that i know that that's a thing.
What a beautiful bridge. I hope to visit some day.
That's true.. not anywhere you can see such a bridge😍
