I think the curved pedestrian bridge, Liberty Bridge, over the waterfall in Greenville SC's downtown is pretty cool.

It is only supported on one side and a unique bridge in this country.

Here's some info on the bridge:

The thing about the Interstate Highway system is that it was modeled after the German Autobahn so I'm hesitant to call it an American engineering innovation.

I agree with the Internet, wish I would have thought of that, but ranking the Submarine over the Moon Landing IDK.
