Yes Gribbler, it is...
First major steel cantilever (still 2nd longest in the world!) railway bridge in the world and first railway bridge with a steel superstructure. Also was the world’s longest spanning bridge at the time of its construction. Way more impressive looking than the GGB!
So, in the space of 47 years, the Golden Gate bridge could only manage a measly extra 685ft!?

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I'm just saying that one was cutting edge and worthy of greatness, considering it was built in the 19th century, whereas the other was relatively modest in comparison...

You need your eyesight tested! Definitely says 'forth bridge scotland' in the search box in the link I provided - I should know as I typed it in! If that search calls up a url with the word 'road' in it, ***** to google and not me - certainly don't call me a ****ing liar because of it!
As for the difference between cantilever and suspension bridges, here is a graphical representation for your education!
Cantilever
Suspension
Then in post #32 you started prattling on about a cantilever bridge as if that was the bridge you linked to. God you are so stupid.
Oh wait, you're too dumb to realise you've been pwned before and after the event!
