In ancient times, simple slabs of stone spanned slow moving rivers. And in modern times, concrete and steel are used to cover vast distances. While the materials and designs have evolved from utilitarian structures to engineering marvels, bridges remain integral parts of American life, with over 600,000 bridges in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>. The construction of bridges is a way to reinvigorate communities economically as well as create landmarks of regional pride. Many modern bridges are designed for use by cyclists and pedestrians as well as motorists, capturing the imagination of human possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Whether simply improving transit or vibrantly lighting the night with color-changing light displays, bridges remain vital connectors drawing together people, cities and the nation.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Ethel Kessler<\/span>, an art director for USPS, used existing photographs to design these stamps.<\/p>\n<p><b>Postal Products <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Customers may purchase stamps and other philatelic products through the <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3951079-1&amp;h=2688968744&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.usps.com%2Fstore%2Fhome&amp;a=Postal+Store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i>Postal Store<\/i><\/a>\u00a0at <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3951079-1&amp;h=1935922497&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fusps.com%2Fshopstamps&amp;a=usps.com%2Fshopstamps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i>usps.com\/shopstamps<\/i><\/a>, by calling 844-737-7826, by mail through <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3951079-1&amp;h=713375169&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.usps.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fstamp-collectors%2Fusa-philatelic-P_012007&amp;a=USA+Philatelic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i><span class=\"xn-location\">USA<\/span> Philatelic<\/i><\/a> or at select Post Office locations nationwide.
