- You'd expect real bridges to be the safest designs right? Poly Bridge 3 (pb3) is finally here, and with 10 years of professional civil engineering experience, who better than to take you though the brand new poly bridge game!? This time I recreate three randomly selected bridges in Poly Bridge 3 whilst also fixing a marriage with the power of engineering!

I'm very happy to see The Liberty Bridge(Budapest) in this series, thanks Matt!
You were right, in the Second World War the Germans bombed this bridge together with all the bridges in Budapest, so the enemy could not follow them. It has been renovated several times since then. The decoration on the top of the bridge represents a mythological bird called Turul, which is a national symbol for Hungarians.
People often like to sit out on the bridge to drink and relax (Cozy place for dates). The bridge is often closed to cars, in which case the bridge can be used freely for social gatherings and events.
And on one side, you have the engineer university, but on other side, the uni of the engineer's mortal enemy... economists.
It is my favorite bridge in the city. So very pretty, with all that steel and rivets and hard core victorian engineering. Plus there is an amazing hotel on the Buda side of the river and an even better covered market on the Pest side. No reason at all to go more than 10 blocks from the Liberty Bridge unless you're going for all that touristy stuff.
@@europ_everi_niceand architects, like I want to be 😈
My grandparents lived in Twin Falls, so I’ve been across the modern Perrine bridge many times. Didn’t expect to see a location I’ve been to in this series, quite a pleasant surprise, though the bridge design you recreated was replaced before I was born. The Snake River below is quite a sight to see in real life.
I wish he did the modern one. I think its the only bridge you can base jump from in the US
is that the bridge that was by niagra falls
@@EdwinJThompson No, it's in a city called Twin Falls, Idaho
If you want a real challenge, try making the Dragon Bridge (Da Nang) in Vietnam! It’s yellow so you may need to build it out of wood if you wanna be color accurate, and it serpents through the top and bottom of the bridge. There are foundations though so I think it’d be possible to make. Plus then you have to accommodate the architect’s impractical urge to put a non structural dragon head at the end of the bridge.
I actualy know but he is going to struggle of th hand
It would be nice to see the 'Erasmusbrug' in Rotterdam, Netherlands being added to the list. I think it is a unique and most definitely beautiful bridge!
Nothing makes you happier then when Matt builds a bridge you drive across every day lol
Man, if he made the Cheasapeke bay Bridge, it'd need to be long as hell XD
@@hypeflexington7081yeah isn’t it like 3-5 miles long?
@@Mets2015WorldSeries I think
Üdv!
About a mile. I drive over it often as I live about 30 minutes away
Crazy idea instead of just realistic Bridges, how about realistic budgets? Take a budget from a real bridge and see what you can do in Polybridge.
YES
My father operated a crane on a barge in the Mississippi River to help build the Hernando Desoto Bridge. Thank you for featuring it today! It always makes me proud to tell people about our bridge. Even if the inspectors aren't always competent...
It is very pleasing in its simplicity and beauty! It's lovely that your family has something like that to be proud of!
Yikes. Yeah that huge crack that inspections missed a couple years back. That was a scary one. I was circulating the news story around my structures office that week.
That's awesome! I drive over that bridge a few times a year going from Oklahoma to see family and friends in Memphis, where I grew up. That crack a few years ago sure added some time to our commute, lol. That I-55 bridge just couldn't handle the amount of traffic.
Omg!!!! Thank you to whoever suggested this bridge! I came to this episode thinking "wow it would be crazy if someone entered my home towns bridge but even if by some chance that they did, it would never get picked" but what do you know it, the Perrine bridge from Twin Falls Idaho. The canyon is absolutely beautiful to walk across and I love kayaking or paddle boarding underneath the new designed bridge
Can you add the Hålogaland Bridge to The Wheel Of Bridgetune?
Its the longest suspension bridge in the arctic circle at 1533 meters, and is located in the Norwegian city of Narvik, known for the first german defeat in ww2 (also the movie "Narvik") and the iron ore it exports.
I was one of the many who helped building it.
You should definetly do movie star bridges. How about River Khwae Bridge, Thailand (starring in ‘Bridge over the river Kwai’) and John Frost bridge, Netherlands (starring in ‘A bridge too far’). Fun fact about the latter, the bridge seen in the movie is not the actual bridge in Arnhem, but a similar bridge in Deventer.
I'm glad that one of the Budapest bridges made it into the series. It was very cool. Good job Mr Engineer!
I would like to see some Polish bridges in your series, especially from Krakow, such as the Kotlarski Bridge or the Zabłocie-Grzegórzki Pedestrian and Bicycle Footbridge or the Piłsudzki Bridge. They are not big bridges like the American ones but they are unique! I love these series!
this could be great!
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge would be great to see - technically three separate bridges in one, it has two double-level traditional suspension bridges sharing a center anchorage pier on the western half, and an asymmetrical self-anchored single-span, single-level suspension section on the eastern half, followed by a causeway.
Can you build the Hoffstadt Bridge? A gorgeous blue undertruss bridge built high in the sky, blending into the blue. Hanging in air over 100m off the ground, spanning the Cowlitz River of over 700m. It's a grand ol' truss bridge, destroyed in the 80s by a Mt. St. Helen's eruption and fully replaced in the early 90s. It's big, it's blue, but most importantly, it's a BILF!
The Fehmarn Sound bridge would be a great addition to the wheel. It’s 963 meters long and connects the island of fehmarn with the German mainland
Day 2:
Can you build the Tsing Ma Bridge?
It is an very very long suspension bridge of over 2000m.
It is the longest suspension bridge that both carries trains and cars over, connecting Hong Kong Island and Tsing Ma Island. It is the longest bridge in fully in Hong Kong.
Please build it, It has been part of my childhood everytime my family went to the airport on vacation, I used to get excited everytime I was crossing it, watching the cable hang from a curved concrete structure really makes me glad. It would be an honour for me that you build this feat of engineering. There is no deceration and complete engineering.
i think this real bridge series is my favorite in PB3
0:17 Based on the current acceleration and velocity of the wheel, I'd say the bridge looks like either the Great Seto Bridge or the Liberty Bridge. Or did I miss the point?
@matt, ask the devs for color control.
Why don't you use an even number span just for your own sanity. If you use 60 or 40m the quarter are easier to calculate
I present to you: The Kinzua Bridge! It’s a bridge that had a lot of history moving Pennsylvania Coal, I guess it was an engineering feat for it’s time. Once a guy flew a plane through it for a stunt, idk. But THEN a tornado ripped half of it down! The rest still stands, what fell is still just laying there all mangled as a testament to the power of nature I guess? But you can walk to the edge and stand on a glass pane and look down.
I actually got to ride on it before it collapsed so that’s kinda cool. It was for trains btw… idk if that disqualifies it since it’s not for cars… but even if it doesn’t make the wheel, it’s definitely worth a google
Im from Michigan in the US and I would love to have the Mackinac Bridge added to the Wheel! By total length the Mackinac Bridge, at 5 miles long, remains one of the longest bridges of its kind!
It's already on the wheel
Hey Matt, you should do the Perrine Memorial Bridge in Idaho. Nobody would know what it is, and it's a gorgeous bridge. Or the Owsley Bridge. The Moyie River Canyon Bridge is very truss-y. There's a lot more great bridges in this state, but those are the ones I think you'd like the best!
Edit: I wrote this before watching the video! And then you actually did that bridge! Oops!
More timberborn!
The Infinity Bridge from Stockton-On-Tees. It's not a flashy bridge but it has a nice gimick/modern look to it. Plus Stockton is known for its bridges and the Infinity Bridge does stand out.
Would be nice to see the Loschwitz Bridge (also called 'Blue Miracle') on the wheel. It's a cantilever truss bridge and at the time considered a technological masterpiece, as it is 280m long without supporting river piers. Hence the name 'Blue Miracle'. Today it is still considered a miracle, but that is because it is still standing and in use. During WW2 the SS tried to destroy the bridge, but two residents climbed up the bridge and cut the detonator wires.
can you recreate the Hörnbrücke from Kiel Germany. It is the only bridge in the world that works according to the three-panel folding principle.
Love the real bridge builds, My father was a young ironworker on the second bridge I believe. He is long passed so unable to clarify however I am fairly certain that was where I do remember as a child him taking us to see the gorge and bridge. Yes I was born very late in his life and he was not even 18 when he worked on that bridge in 1927. He used his brothers birth certificate to fake his age. Another he was proud of was the Koocanusa Bridge in Montana.
Pls do the Euro briges from the Euro banknotes
Fun fact: in 2002 the briges were disigned as fictional briges so no countries were favoured over others. Ten years later a Dutch city called Spijkenisse liked these briges and built them all over the same waterway
Whilst you've done this style bridge before, the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, Canada, would be a cool one to do. Albeit, it's a 100 year old bridge AND only 3 lanes, so it's pretty outdated for a major bridge connection. But, they can't tear down the bridge to replace it due to the national government designating it a Nation Historic Site of Canada, back in 2005.
I’d love to see the old Quebec bridge added. It failed twice during construction and remains one of Canada’s most infamous pieces of infrastructure. Todays iteration is still the worlds largest cantilevering bridge. Thanks Matt!
Just crossed the Liberty bridge minutes ago... You can climb up and sit in the middle on the bridge, it gives a great view onto Budapest.
Not sure if it’s already on the wheel, but I’d love to see the Royal Alexandra Bridge that spans the Ottawa River, connecting Ontario and Quebec between Ottawa and Gatineau respectively. It was the first cantilevered bridge in Canada, by Canadians, and the National Capital Commission (NCC) is in the process of replacing it since it’s reached end-of-life.
I, personally, have distinct childhood memories of that bridge. Only one lane of it is paved; the other lane is just metal grating, so I’d be in the car all excited to go on a trip to Quebec, and suddenly there’d be a “ka-thump” and “vrrrrRRRRRRR” that always spooked the shit out of me as we made our way onto and over the bridge.
Now i want to Represent Germany a little so:
x Rheinbrücke Konstanz (Old Rhine Bridge (Konstanz))
x Strelasundquerung (Strelasund Crossing)
x Kochertalbrücke (Kocher Viaduct)
x Hohenzollernbrücke (Hohenzollern Bridge)
x Fehmarnsundbrücke (Fehmarn Sound Bridge)
x Marienbrücke (Neuschwanstein) (i dont know the english name)
x Oberbaumbrücke (Oberbaum Bridge)
Now these are all just Briges for Cars usw (I dont want to make it to complex with the GErman Engineered all in German bridges)
Gotta be the Pattullo Bridge! Beautiful arch bridge, sad that's its being taken down and being replaced
By the way, its in canada to help out
I'd love to see the Cortland Street Drawbridge (Chicago) in this series. It's the progenitor of the Chicago bascule bridge type, apparently, and has some very cool movement that would be fun to see in poly bridge
As an Idahoan I love seeing a bridge I grew up driving over. It's okay you pronounced the name wrong, we still love you, Matt!
There was a bridge in my youth that I would often use as a diving point. I was always fascinated by it's function.
It was about a 50 foot span that sat upon a giant pivot point. When boat traffic needed to pass, it would turn 90 degrees opening up two separate pathways for boats entering and leaving.
I don't think poly bridge allows for such a setup, but if anyone could build it... It's a real engineer.
I would love to see the Thatcher Ferry Bridge, currently known as the Bridge of the Americas. It's one of the bridges that allows you to cross the Panama Canal by car. Either that one, or the Centennial Bridge, which also goes across the canal. The first one is a historical structure and the latter is an award winning one.
Much love dude thanks for doing the Perrine bridge in Twin Falls, i didnt know it had been rebuilt. I walked along the under arch as a teen so this was cool to see thanks!
14:48 - Bridge 3 is the bridge that connects Arkansas and Tennessee at Memphis (not sure what the name is). It had a major crack in the structure back in 2021 that closed it down for months (maybe even a year). Bit of controversy on who had to pay for the repairs too. (edit: After finishing the segment, I was right! Where's my Engineer Points?)
I’d love to see you build the viaduc du littoral, it’s a french bridge on Reunion Island. I don’t really know if it’s possible to build it in polybridge, if not you’ll discover a new bridge anyway. On the same island there also lots of bridges on La route des Tamarins and also an old bridge called Pont suspendu de la rivière de l’Est. Hope you’ll have fun discovering tropical bridges we have there! I love your videos and I hope you and paddy have a good day 😊
DeSoto was a conqueror that met his end not too far from where the bridge is. First stop Florida, 2nd the Memphis area. "The history of Hernando de Soto and Florida" by Bernard Shipp is a good read.
And its the largest letter in the world, its called "The Memphis Bridge" mane.
I just got to experience the Perrine Memorial Bridge in Twin Falls, ID, USA 2 weeks ago. It was quite impressive.
I would be quite happy if you do the Bloukrans Bridge in ZA/SA. (South africa) As there is a bungee jumping place on the bridge which is the highest bungee jumping place in ZA/SA (I think) It is the longest Bridge in ZA/SA, as it is around 140cm. Thanks for the good Vids, Mat!
Bridge Submission: Lewis and Clark Bridge, located in Longview Washington, USA, over the Columbia River. It's a cantilever bridge, if that impacts the submission.
I don't know if it's unique in the world (it probably isn't), but I thought it was neat as a kid, and reminds me of home.
My University is literally 50 meters away from Libert bridge, Budapest and walked on it yesterday, so lovely to see it in a video too
Shout out from a born and bred Memphian! Cool to see you do the Hernando de Soto Bridge. Speaking of it being over stressed, you should check out the crack found in 2021 that caused them to shut down the crack immediately until repairs could be completed.
Ahh, the Liberty Bridge, I love it so much. I used to live next to it, going over it often by foot or tram. Great bridge. Although the best bridge in Budapest is the Erzsébet (Elisabeth?) Bridge, which has no foundation, just a long suspention, and all white. Might want to build that too.
Hi, I am a fellow engineer (mechanical) from Sweden and I would love to see the Öresunds-bridge. A marvellous engineering project and a great collaboration between Sweden and Denmark.
I guess you can try making Zhivopisny Bridge (живописный мост). That is a stunning cable-stayed bridge in Moscow, Russia.
12:52 There's a scrolling Nordic Rune composition on that bridge: its relevant to giant-troll-thwarting I guess.
In Brazil there's a bridge that used to wobble wildly, it had no structures above the bridge and it was very close to the ocean. There's not much footage of it because the government or something didn't want people to fear the bridge, it was perfectly safe. (As safe as several hundred kilometers of asphalt floating on an ocean bay)
Ps: It has been fixed like a decade ago.
Ps2: If someone want to see it, search for "Ponte Rio Niterói balançando"
I drive across the Hernando De Soto bridge (or The New Bridge as we call it) twice a day and when it had that crack in it a few years ago my 15 minute commute to and from work turned into a 2-3 hour commute each way…
Since you’ve done the new bridge you should add the old bridge which I think is actually called the Arkansas -Tennesse bridge? There is also the Harahan bridge but it’s a rail/pedestrian bridge.
I have bridge suggestions
Tamar Bridge - cool suspension bridge with side platforms
Royal Albert Bridge - very funky tube suspension bridge thingy built by Brunel
Imagine Matt making the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Not only would it be insanely long, but insanely boring. I’d love to see it anyway tho lol
5:22 just for this, you are now my favorite youtuber
I think you should build the hoover dam. It is the most beautiful structure that can be driven over
Could you add the Tromsøbrua (Tromso Bridge)
on the wheel if Bridgetune?
This IS a very beautiful bridge in the Northern Norway
That last bridge looked very familiar. I live close to Memphis and I like seeing the lights that they put on that bridge!
Glasgow's Clyde Arc/Squinty Bridge would be a fun challenge!
I love this series and I wanted to ad some Swedish bridges like Högakustenbron Uddevallabron Älvsborgsbron Bergnäsbron Sölvesborgsbron and the lejoströmsbron witch is a wooden bridge. And when I was in Irland last year I saw a very architect bridge called the Samuel Beckett bridge
We need some danish bridges on the wheel.... And I know you have made one of our big ones already.
So how about Teglværksbroen (copy/paste to serach it if you dont have æ) Just because I know how much you love hydraulics, and that is real life hydraulics bridge)
Or maybe "Dronning Alexandrines Bro" A bridge from 1943 with lots of arches
I would love to see Samuel de Champlain bridge in Montréal! Beautiful bridge that opened few years ago! Awesome video matt! Always a pleasure watching you!
The Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks, Oregon would be a good one to do. I’ve always had a soft spot for its cantilever charm.
I’m not sure if it’s already on the list but how about adding the Tamar bridge from the south west of England.
Btw love the videos, keep up the hard work.
Yeah, Budapest has lots of long bridges, Danube flows through it, and Danube is a LORGE river. I remember it being grey.
Any Brits want to joke about Truss bridges? They don't last even as long as a head of lettuce!
I'm not sure you can actually do this bridge mechanically, because it rotates, but I'd love to see you build the government bridge, from Davenport, Iowa. I think it's a really neat build, and just to show how it rotates for boats I think is cool!!
Hopefully the Tacoma Narrows Bridge is on the wheel.
Hopefully the millennium pedestrian bridge from London is there too
Bloukrans Bridge (Blue Cliff Bridge) in South Africa! It is a really interestingly built bridge AND it is the site of the world's highest commercial bridge bungee jumping. So that is quite interesting :)
I was going to request the Johnson Street Bridge in Victoria, British Columbia. But when I went to look it up I realized it has been replaced since the last time I was there! So I guess I’m requesting the third Johnson Street Bridge, not the current one 😊
I’d be curious to see him build the new one too, lol
Great video! You should add Västerbron from Stockholm, Sweden
Relatively new bridge (less than 20 years old) but a nice one you should read up on is penobscot narrows bridge at the Hancock-Waldo county line in Maine U.S.A. made incredibly quickly of granite from the surrounding area with a built-in observation deck at the top of one of the towers, this cable-stayed bridge is a massive tourist attraction coupled with it's location to an uncompleted coastal defense fort Knox it makes for a special site to visit.
Bridge Suggestion Sir @RealCivilEngineerGaming ... The High Steel Bridge in Washington State, is a truss arch bridge that spans 685ft (209 m) and its deck is 375ft(114 m) above the river. CHEERS!!
St. John’s bridge in Portland, Oregon. It’s a pretty cool looking tension bridge. Grew up driving over it basically every day!
I would like to see the Sagamore/Bourne bridge spanning the Cape Cod Canal, maybe the Rail Bridge that crosses it too.
Since you're taking suggestions, how about a skip and a hop to Portugal, for two neat bridges! Ponte Vasco da Gama and Ponte 25 de Abril! I just think they're neat.
I love the Loschwitzer Brücke in dresden. (also called Blaues Wunder)
I would you adding the Bridge of the Americas, It is one of the most famous and known bridges of the country Panama, because the bridge cross the canal of Panama, so the bridge connects the capital city with all the others cities on the country. Also, if you are luckly you can see huge container boats crossing under the bridge, if I am not wrong s the oldest bridge on the country. Or maybe you can add Panama's Centennial Bridge, ThIs is the newest, but also cross the Canal of Panama, and it is very beautiful.
Puente del Centenario - Sevilla
Puente de la Barqueta - Sevilla
Puente del Alamillo - Sevilla
I think they would look pretty cool in the game 👍👍
The Beehive Bridge. New Britain, CT. It's more than aluminum poles, it's a work of architecture.
5:22 I never expected to see okabe here... As if this channel wasn't already fantastic 😅
Rio-Niteroi Bridge is cool one, but in my opinion, the most beautiful bridge in South America is the JK Bridge in Brasilia with its triple arches, approximately 165M USD in today money.
Driven over De Soto so many times, never knew it was called that. :D
We knew it as the M bridge or the I-40 bridge.
I’d love to see the ambassador bridge that spans between Windsor Canada to Detroit in the US. Also maybe it’s replacement being built now, the Gordie Howe bridge
If you don't have it on your wheel already, I suggest the Mackinac bridge, the only reason that little peninsula still belongs to Michigan and not Wisconsin.
Would love to see you do the Eads bridge in St. Louis Missouri for one of these! It's the oldest surviving bridge over the Mississippi, the first cantilever bridge design put into use on earth, and when completed was the longest rigid structure every made at the time. It's a national historic landmark and features some very cool metal truss work
Pls the Old Bridge in Mostar, it's a very beautiful bridge, maybe not that much technical as some modern ones but still is a thing of beauty!
> Headed back to the U.S.
> It doesn't exist anymore
An impeccable description for Tacoma Narrows. Alas.
Bridge 2: “need the expand the gorge.”
So it had to be engorged?
Ba-dum-tish… thank-you I’m here all week.
Dunno if its been suggested yet, but the Mackinac Bridge would be a neat one. 8 km long suspension bridge, longest in the western hemisphere.
A bridge very close to my heart is the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, MN. It would be so so cool to see you build it! Love the vids!!
I’ll love to see the Kurilpa Bridge from Brisbane Australia. The way that bridge was made I think it’s fantastic hope to see it on the wheel.
“The Humber bay arch bridge”
I’m not sure if this is on there if if it will count since this is a walking bridge.
(Fanboy text)
I haven’t watched your channel in ages, not since around 120k subscribers but I remember finding your channel and watching every single video you made until I got bored, thanks for all the videos!
As a Memphian I Love seeing the Hernando DeSoto Bridge. As a kid, I always called it the m Bridge because of Memphis.
Hey, a cool looking and challenging bridge would be the „Blaues Wunder“ (Blue Wonder in English) from Dresden, Germany.
The tyne bridge would be cool. Not nearly as iconic or well engineered as the rest of these but dammit I love that bridge. A good old fashioned through arch bridge, what's not to love?
Matt you should challenge yourself with the Vizcaya bridge in Getxo Spain, actually, maybe not. it might be a bit to complicated for a mere engineer! it's more of an architects kind of challenging bridge
Bro twin falls bridge has people jumping off it all the time… they use parachutes but still!
Mackinac Bridge in Michigan might be a cool one to do
Can you add the Singapore Causeway? It connects Singapore and Malaysia, and was blown up in WWII to prevent the Japanese from using it but rebuilt after that
