This is a bridge, a pedestrian bridge located in Texas. This is an arched bridge in Lake Austin build by Miro Rivera Architects. The bridge is in fact not for public consumption, but is used to connect the client's main house to the smaller guest house on the other side of the water!!!
This is another amazing bridge located at Sao Paulo, Brazil, named Octavio Frias de Olieira Bridge. This is bridge carried motorized vehicles crosses the Pinheiros River in Sao Paulo. It's design is unique where the two curved decks of the bridge cross each other through its x-shaped supporting tower, an illuminated structure that stands 450 feets tall and has attached to it 144 steel cables.
The Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge at Brasilia, Brazil, is named after Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira, the former president of Brazil. It was designed by architect Alexandre Chan and structural engineer Mário Vila Verde. The bridge has a pedestrian walkway and is accessible to bicyclists and skaters.
The main span structure has four supporting pillars submerged under Lake Paranoá, and the deck weight is supported by three 200-foot tall asymmetrical steel arches that crisscross diagonally. Since being built, the bridge has won awards for its design but is still massively under appreciated on a wider scale.

Now we look at the bridge in Eastern countries.
In China, a railway bridge was built as part of the much larger 'Guizhou-Shuibai Railway Project'. The Bei Pan Jiang River Railroad Bridge at Guizhou, China is an enourmous railway bridge which connecting two mountains over a deep ravine, at its highest point the bridge's deck sits 918ft above the ground (to compare, at its highest point the Millau viaduct's deck clears the river underneath by 890ft). The bridge has succeeded in connecting two of the country's poorest areas.
Henderson Waves at Southern Ridges, Singapore is the highest pedestrian bridge linking Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park that forms part of the Southern Ridges. The two parks join forces with Hort Park, Kent Ridge Park and West Coast Park to form a corridor of green spaces known as the Southern Ridges of Singapore. It is a beautiful 9km stretch of gardens and parks and has frequently drawn comparisons to New York's Central Park. The bridge itself is absolutely stunning. The deck is made from thousands of Balau wood slats, perfectly cut and arranged, and along the length of the deck a huge snacking, undulating shell cleverly forms sheltered seating areas on every upward curve.
