Queen Elizabeth II Bridge
The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, which connects Kent to Essex as part of the Dartford Crossing, seen here from Greenhithe, 2.5 km (1.6 mi) east of the bridge. At 137 m (449 ft) high and 812 m (2,664 ft) long, the bridge was Europe's largest cable-stayed bridge when it opened in 1991. It is currently the second largest in the United Kingdom and the 34th largest in the world.Photo credit: David Iliff
