    I understand where your coming from and I know that Europe contains several hundred year old cities, we can even go far back as Egypt. Since I am from the Metropolitan area I find it amazing that these bridges were built to last for more than 100 years. Im from Paterson, NJ and there are buildings still standing from 200 years ago, when the city was founded.
