Too bad a tornado took out the kinzua bridge… 301 ft tall > **[Kinzua Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinzua_Bridge)** > > The Kinzua Bridge or the Kinzua Viaduct (/ˈkɪnzuː/, /-zuːə/) was a railroad trestle that spanned Kinzua Creek in McKean County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.

Maybe the Driving Park Bridge over the Genesee in Rochester?

I don’t know if you can pull this off, but, seeing that you mentioned the new bridge on the extended 219 section, I’ll tell you anyways.
