Help celebrate bridge opening and bridge celebrations with this list of bridge songs. A great way to celebrate visiting bridges.
The most popular and recognizable bridge in America is the Golden Gate Bridge located in San Francisco Bay.
The London Bridge in Lake Havasu, Arizona. The bridge originated in London and is the bridge that made the song “London Bridge Is Falling Down” popular.
On the east coast, we must mention Boston, Massachusetts’ bridge Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge over the Charles River.
Also on the east coast, there is Virginia Beach, Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The bridge stretches more than 17 miles and was built for transportation between Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia.
The last bridge on the east coast we will mention is the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, New York. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the finest architectural structures in the city and a must-see for walking over it.
The final bridge we will mention is the Sunshine Skyway Bridge located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The bridge features sunny yellow steel cables. Although it is not technically a bridge but a walkway, we also had to mention the Grand Canyon Skywalk Glass “Bridge” located at the Grand Canyon Hualapai West entrance.
