Built in 1890 and still carrying 200 trains a day. The Forth Bridge in Scotland is one of those structures that makes you stop and appreciate what people were capable of building over 135 years ago.
54,000 tonnes of steel. 6.5 million rivets. 4,000 workers. At least 73 lives lost. Seven years of construction. And a bridge that has never stopped working since the day it opened. UNESCO made it a World Heritage Site in 2015 and honestly it is hard to argue with that.
This is the kind of work that reminds you why infrastructure matters and why the people who build it deserve to be recognized.
