I think that you're being a bit harsh on yourselves there, Grav.

The Verrazano–Narrows and Golden Gate Bridges are spectacular engineering achievements.

I don't know whether I shall ever have the good fortune to visit the US again, but I have an ambition to drive across/through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Well, I can dream.
