"  Here we were thinking that Minnesota&amp;#039;s next-gen St. Anthony Falls Bridge was kicking up the next generation of mega engineering a notch from even the quake-proof Bay Bridge Skyway. But leave it to Dubai to build it way harder, faster and stronger--or, at least in the case of this newly approved design from New York&amp;#039;s Fxfowle architects, way cooler.  As if the Burg Dubai tower wasn&amp;#039;t already taking the worldwide skyscraper race to new heights, this as-yet-unnamed span will be the world&amp;#039;s largest arch bridge, with 2000 vehicles set to cross its 12 lanes--per hour, in each direction--when it&amp;#039;s slated for completion in 2012. At 670 ft. tall, Dubai&amp;#039;s next super structure will stand higher than the George Washington Bridge (604 ft.) but fall short of San Francisco&amp;#039;s existing Golden Gate Bridge (746 ft.).
