Wikipedia suggests there are four bridges worldwide with shops across both sides of their full span. I can name three of them, but which is the other? The old London Bridge is not the fourth as it had been rebuilt without shops or houses by the time the Pulteney Bridge was built. I'd love to solve this mystery of the missing bridge.

  1. Forget the name of the bridge, but it's the one linking the 2 side of Istanbul, accross the Bosphorus (sp?). Cars drive on the upper level, whilst below are shops, restaurants and the like.


  2. Possibly Kramerbrucke in Erfurt, Germany The bridge was originally built as a wooden connection across the Gera river. Since the 11th century merchant stalls line the bridge, making it the longest of its kind in Europe. After several fires its planks were finally replaced by stone in 1325

    Kramerbrucke translates as "Merchants Bridge"

    By the way, the correct way to type the name of this bridge would have umlauts above the "a" and the "u". My keyboard doesn't have those symbols (the two small dots you see above some vowels in the German language). A correct way to spell the name without the umlauts would be Kraemerbruecke.
