Bridges typically have three characteristics and are built into three different types. These include truss bridges, beam bridges, and suspension bridges.
An arch bridge has kind of an arched support under the bridges platform.
The arch bridge is one of the oldest bridge. it is built out of stone or brick (that use to be long time ago). Now times it is built out of concrete and/or steel.

if you build an arch bridge it can hold more weight then anyother type of toothpick bridge and can hold about 20lbs (if made well) another good type of bridge is the truss bridge it is just as strong as the arch bridge but it has diffrent structures.
it is a hybrid between an arch bridge and truss bridge. so it is classified as an arch and truss
Arch Bridges are: 1. Masonry arch bridges 2. trussed arch bridges. Le viaduc de Garabit in Cantal France is a famous arch bridge. The Sydney Harbour bridge is a trussed arch bridge Tacoma Bridge.
The bridge is supported by an arch or a series on arches to make the bridge stronger.
Arch bridges are in the shape of an upside down "U" with mainly steel beans, while supension bridges have one or two Major verticle beams with strong wire connecting to the bridge.
The longest span an arch bridge can go is relevent to the radius of the arch.
they did it because there is a huge arch in the middle
