I heard that Kinzua was the fourth tallest bridge in the US, what were the other three?

Thank you in advance.

Here's my bet for one of them http://www.royalgorgebridge.com/attractions/ride_bridge.htm

You can spit off the bridge and it'll be dry before it can hit the ground

The book "Bridges: The Spans of North America"
by David Plowden would probably serve you well. $70 list price, but can be ordered through Barnes & Nobel for about $55
