one of my most interesting experiences was driving a big truck into "the cave warehouses", in Kansas City Missouri. this is a massive complex of underground warehouse with its own everything.

 

this may not be what your looking for but came to mind when i read your post....

I was thinking of two bridges in France, relatively close to each other (about 30 km ?).

The Pont de Tancarville is a suspension bridge

The Pont de Normandie is a cable stayed bridge.

I was told that one of the reasons for this difference was that the cables for the Tancarville Bridge could be anchored in solid rock, while the Normandy Bridge is an an area with mainly mud flats.

Check this for the Normandy Bridge : The Normandy Bridge at Le Havre - Honfleur (France)

There must be other sites, too, but of course mostly in French.

no sir, haven't even thought about this in years. suggest you can find either through a google or yhoo seach...KC Mo., then underground warehouse or the caves. may be somewhat insulated today since access is limited and may be heavily protected. however is worth the time to check out....

Hmmm... I was hoping I could get more help in the forum but it appears that it won't appear any posts anymore.Well,thank you for your contributions and time :) .
