Most of the time, rebuilding a carâs engine will be a personal choice. In some cases, according to Artâs Automotive, it can be an easy choice. For instance, if your car was 20 years old and had more than 350,000 miles, then itâs probably safe to say it isnât worth it.
4 miles long, the Progreso Pier is one of the longest in the world. The pier that extends from the shores of Progreso, YucatÃ¡n into the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico is among the longest such structures in the world. Located in a port city in Mexico in the state of YucatÃ¡n, the pier was built for docking large cargo and passenger ships. The pier hasnât always reached such great lengths.
The Governor Albert D. Rossellini BridgeâEvergreen Point bridge (often called just the SR 520 bridge) in Seattle is the longest floating bridge on the planet. It is 7,497 feet (2,285 meters), or 1.4 miles (metric), long and spans Lake Washington, letting vehicles pass to and from Seattle and Bellevue, Washington. After three years of construction, the four-lane toll bridge opened in 1963. It wasn't the first floating bridge on Lake Washington; that was actually the Lake Washington Floating Bridge, which was built in 1940 and wound up as part of Interstate 90. But the SR 520 bridge is significantly bigger than its forbearer. It's four lanes and 60 feet wide and is supported by 33 pontoons. Those individual pontoons are enormous, at around two and a half stories tall, and 360 feet (110 meters) long -- that's longer than four gas tanker semi-trucks placed end to end.
