that bridge in millau certainly is built!. I even thought it was already open for traffic. and well that u have never heard of the erasmus bridge suprises me. like every week there is a photo shown of this bridge in the UPC but for me the GGB has my vote!!!
The Viaduc de Millau is now finished but not opened yet (building the highway).
Even if the Viaduc de Millau is the most impressive by its dimension. It's not a bridge like the others in this poll but a Viaduct.
My vote goes to the Tower Bridge. The Viaduc de Millau should compete in the overland bridges but even this way, I think the Pont du Gard should represent France (the Pont du Gard was completly overlooked, while it's a 2000 years old one, wierd) and not the Viaduc de Millau.
Brooklyn bridge! What is the erasmus bridge doing in this poll? It's maybe nice but i don't think it fits between these gigantic and beautiful bridges. Ponte de normandie should have been better i think.

Does the Pont du Gard count as it was built as an aquaduct? It is impressive for sure, but maybe not as outstanding as these above. (I've seen the Pont du Gard 2 or 3 times).
I know this might seem biased, but I have to choose Tower Bridge too. The mix of stone and metal is perfect and I think it is the second most identifiable part of London. And the bridge actually opens up to let tall ships through! Does the Golden Gate bridge do that?
They are all engineerig masterpeieces (the pont du Gard was definitely a feat in it's day) but I like Tower Bridge for it's aesthetic qualities and victorian engineering achievment (I think it's victorian). If I had to keep any bridge in the world it would be this one.
Golden Gate in a land slide! One of longest spans and some of the highest towers, period. Not only is the bridge amazing to see from all over the bay area, but the view from the bridge is just as stunning.
The Golden Gate has it hands down. The other four here are all great and the new one in France is off the chart in the wow factor. Mr. Foster you have really done it this time, it is beautiful. That said, no bridge can match the grace and beauty of the Golden Gate. The location is unmatched and it changes with every fogbank, tide,or sunset.
I was in Australia last year and I have to say the Sydney Harbor Bridge is of the same caliber as any of these.
Sydney Harbour Bridge...but since it's not in the poll, i'll go with Golden Gate.
