Do you have a favorite bridge? Maybe it’s the one that takes you to grandma’s every weekend, or the one you visited on a formative road trip years ago.
According to the online travel agency, Orbitz, there are 600,000 bridges in the United States, and each plays a critical role in connecting us to work, play and each other. Some are historically significant; others are architectural marvels. No matter the reason — a proposal, the first day of a new job — images of these bridges find their way into our Instagram feeds.
That’s why Orbitz decided to find and rank the country’s most popular bridges on Instagram. Florida’s Seven Mile Bridge, which shows up on the list, also made Globehunters’ list of the best road trips in the world. And it’s no surprise that the Bay Area’s own Golden Gate Bridge took the No. 2 spot on Orbitz’s list at 2,350,528 posts, just behind New York’s Brooklyn Bridge. The Golden Gate also appeared on Uber’s top global landmarks.
With that, here are Orbitz’s top 10 most popular bridges on Instagram. Hashtags were gathered between November and December 2018. To see the entire list of bridges, visit www.orbitz.com.
