Look familiar?
Hell Gate Bridge, New York,
Construction was underway in 1912 on this 3.2 mile, 5.15 km long viaduct , which still today carries high-speed trains from Boston to New York. The Hell Gate bridge, completed in 1916, was the longest steel-arch span in the world.

Yes it looks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge. So does the Bayonne Bay Bridge in Bayonne, NJ.

Nope, whathisname the engineer guy who basically built Sydney's bridge from the sweat off his brow got his inspiration from this very bridge. Some people said he was copying, I'm sure the scandal sheets would've been running hot!

I thought it was designed from a slice of lemon and two ice cubes in a gin and tonic? Very disappointed now!
