About this ebook
Bridges Vanished explores the compelling stories of bridges lost to time, war, disaster, and neglect, highlighting their historical significance and the impact of their disappearance on communities. It examines how these structures, once vital links for commerce and connection, continue to resonate through our cultural heritage and collective memory. Discovering the reasons behind bridge failures, whether due to wartime bombings or natural disasters, provides insights into the fragility of these seemingly permanent structures.
The book examines bridge mortality through case studies grouped thematically, looking at the strategic importance of war-time bridges, the impact of natural disasters, and the consequences of neglect due to shifting economic priorities. The approach blends civil engineering, history, and sociology to provide a holistic view. By focusing on the human stories and lessons learned from vanished bridges, the book emphasizes the need for sustainable infrastructure planning and diligent maintenance.
