Where is the world's most skewed arch bridge?
Skew arch bridges of up to 45 degrees are not uncommon and many even exceed that figure. There's a helicoidal skew arch in the U.K. that was built of stone in 1830 to carry the Haggerleazes branch of the Stockton & Darlington Railway over the River Gaunless, which has a skew angle of 63 degrees. In other words, instead of crossing the river at the normal 90 degrees, the railway and river cross at 27 degrees. (90 - 27 = 63) There's a skew arch bridge built to a different principle (it's called a ribbed skew arch) in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK that carries the Midland Main Line across Southdown Road at an angle of only 25 degrees, giving the bridge a skew angle of 65 degrees. That's the most skewed arch bridge I know of but there may well be others and if so I'd like to know. (Reference: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_arch)
