Following the article in the magazine about bridges, here's one I made earlier.

The Megler Bridge carries Hwy 101 (Pacific Coast Highway) from Washington over the mouth of the Columbia River into Oregon at Astoria.

It certainly is - it is over 6545m long with a longest span of 373.5 metres and it is 60 metres above the high tide water level.
It was really difficult to find a spot from which to photograph it without to much junk in the frame. I was quite pleased with this one though.

The temptation on a trip down the 101 is to stop and photograph every amazing bridge you cross, and there are plenty!
