Un proverbe arabe dit:
3adamato al omami fi 9anateriha
La grandeur des nations se manifeste dans leurs ponts

Une comparaison de nos ponts avec ceux d'ailleurs nous montrera ou on se situe sur l'échelle de la grandeur.

From France: Viaduc de Millau. C'est le pont le plus haut du monde.




From Morocco: Pont au dessus du Bouregreg, n'est plus utilisé par l'ONCF maintenant. Utilisé pour acheminer les pipelines.

For over 46 years, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel has captured worldwide attention as a modern engineering wonder and an important East Coast travel convenience. Crossing over and under open waters where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Bridge-Tunnel provides a direct link between Southeastern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware plus the Eastern Shore counties in Maryland and Virginia), and cuts 95 miles from the journey between Virginia Beach and points north of Wilmington, Delaware.

Following its opening on April 15, 1964, the Bridge-Tunnel was selected "One of the Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World" in a worldwide competition that included more than one hundred major projects. In addition, in 1965, it was distinguished as "The Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement" by the American Society of Civil
