==Arches as highway or railway bridges== [[File:Natural Bridge State Park (31044316221).jpg|thumb|[[Natural Bridge (Virginia)|Natural Bridge]], [[Virginia]]]] In a few places in the world, natural arches are utilized by humans as transportation bridges with highways or railroads running across them. In Virginia, [[US Route 11]] traverses [[Natural Bridge (Virginia)|Natural Bridge]]. Two additional natural arch roadways are found in [[Kentucky]]. The first, a cave erosion arch made of limestone, is in [[Carter Caves State Resort Park]] and has a paved road on top.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://parks.ky.gov/parks/resortparks/carter-caves/trails.aspx?id=105 |title=Natural Bridge Trail: Carter Caves State Resort Park |publisher=Kentucky State Parks |access-date=November 19, 2019}}</ref> The second, a weather-eroded sandstone arch with a dirt road on top, is on the edge of [[Natural Bridge State Park (Kentucky)|Natural Bridge State Park]] in Kentucky. The latter arch is called White's Branch Arch (also known as the Narrows) and the road going over it is usually referred to as the Narrows Road.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}} In Europe, the [[Romania]]n village of [[Ponoarele]] has a road segment called God's Bridge that is {{cvt|30|m}} long and {{cvt|13|m}} wide, passing over a stone arch {{cvt|22|m}} high and {{cvt|9|m}} thick.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.romaniajournal.ro/travel/gods-bridge-the-natural-bridge-of-mehedinti-romania/ |title='God's Bridge', the Natural Bridge of Mehedinti, Romania |first=Ramona |last=Ciortescu |date=December 10, 2014 |publisher=Romania Journal |access-date=November 19, 2019}}</ref> The railroad from [[Lima]], [[Peru]] crosses the Rio Yauli on a natural bridge near kilometer 214.2 as it approaches the city of [[La Oroya]].{{citation needed|date=November 2019}}
