They put flexible connections in the road on a bridge because scientifically speaking, when the bridge is heated like when it's summer season, the bridge can move further apart, so in order to hold it, they put flexible connections. :)

How do you buid a bridge in sim city 2000 for the Game Boy?
Drag the road across the river like a normal road. You need about four or five tiles of straight road on either side whilst building, but you can edit that after the bridge is built. Also make that before you build the bridge, that there are no structures above or below ground around the bridge area, or it won't work. You can put buildings around the bridge afterwards though
Why is chronological thinking a good skill to have?
To put in order and find connections between them.
How come you cant put blacktop in a continuous strip on a highway instead you have to put it in strips?
They do. The only time they don't is when there is a bridge with a top part. Like a suspension. Because if you add 2 inches of blacktop to the road of a bridge like that then it decreases the overall height of the bridge for the cars to get through. And would cause more accidents with high semis or big semi loads.
What holds up a suspension bridge?
On a suspension bridge, the ourter ends of the cables are attached to an ancorage, which has extreme mass and strength to maintain cable tension. On a truss bridge, the ends are called abutments. Both structures are built at or about the approach or approach embankments to the bridge, and we use different terms because of the difference in the loads they have to handle. Use the link below to a bit of bridge terminology. It isn't all there, but it's a good start.
