The Falkirk Wheel, Scotland
Their is more to this bridge than it’s futuristic design. This is the worlds first and only boat lift! That’s right, the structure can actually rotate 180 degrees and is equipped with two locks which have 168 m long tunnels that emerge at the ends of the 2 wheels. Boats at the bottom sail into these tunnels, the structure then rotates, lifting the boats up to the top of the canal. The bridges unique way of connect the canals and transporting boats makes it an exceptional feat of modern engineering.

Beautiful bridges and interesting information, thank you!
But the essential point is missing: the Names of their creators, the Architects who envisioned and brought to light these magnificent works! It's not like these appeared out of nowhere!
Their merits have to be recognized every time people see their creations.
Like when you see the Mona Lisa and immediately Leonardo's name comes to mind...
