Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton signed a marriage equality law yesterday and the City of Minneapolis celebrated last night by lighting up the I-35W bridge like this. It looks like the final stage from Mario Kart.

In July last year, a Chinese man was trucking sand on the outskirts of Beijing. He drove his 110-ton truck over a bridge and it, unsurprisingly, collapsed.

Yes, it's Monday after the holidays and none of us are happy back at the grindstone. But it could be worse: At least you're not the driver of this truck in China left dangling over a gorge after a wreck.

The new 350-foot Willis Avenue Bridge floated 110 miles by water to its final installation point connecting the Bronx to Manhattan, even passing underneath the Brooklyn Bridge at one point. A gallery of the rare bridge-under-bridge action below.

English ninnies are calling for the return of special assistants to guide them across the tall Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. One effete man said he was "petrified" at the thought of driving across the bridge alone. [BBCNews, Photo: SunnyUK]

The 80-year-old Crown Point Bridge linking New York and Vermont over Lake Champlain crashed into the lake yesterday, as controlled explosions brought down the first U.S. long-span continuous truss bridge for highway traffic ever built. Today, we mourn its loss.

The San Francisco Bay Bridge isn't the only piece of American infrastructure slowly crumbling. Road construction mag Better Roads' survey of America's bridges found that 25.7% of them are considered either functionally obsolete or structurally deficient.
