Old Roman Bridge in southern France.
---------------------------------------------
Hold on, I'm sorry. This is in Pakenham, Ontario. One of the most interesting structures in Pakenham is the Five Arch Stone Bridge. In 1901, the engineering firm of O’Toole and Keating built the only five arch stone bridge of its kind in all of North America. For the princely sum of $14,500. At the time, the bridge was built 268 feet in length, 25 feet width and 22 feet high. Each of the five arches are 40 feet wide and the piers are each 8 feet thick! The largest stone in the bridge is 9 feet long and 2-1/2 feet square, and weighs over 5 tons.
