it can hold up the road so the road does not fall down.
arch bridges can support more weight than beam bridges but for price i say beam won.
A beam bridge is built in a perpendicular style. Where the supports are perpendicular to the road. An arch bridge builds its supports as arches (semicircles), and sometimes are a semicircle themselves (meaning the road arches).
Beam Bridges were built to make longer and more durable bridges.
Most highway bridges and railroad bridges are simple beam bridges. In this type of construction, the road surface or deck is supported by a series of longitudinal beams made of concrete, steel or timber. These in turn rest on bearings, which reston piers or abutments.

Yes, there are beam bridges in Australia , Like the Mooney Mooney Bridge.

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Beam bridges and arch bridges both help us cross over obstacles like rivers or valleys. They are both types of bridges that use the strength of the materials to support weight and provide safe passage. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, each bridge has its own unique charm and way of bringing joy to those who use them.
No one answer. How big is the bridge you want? How high, how wide, how long, to support how much weight?

The Beam bridge costs less. And much, much smaller. The Beam bridge costs less. And much, much smaller.
suspension, beam, cantilever, arch bridges. Hope this helps
