Stone bridges were built to get over rivers etc, before iron or steel was used.
There were (and still are) other bridges that can be used.
some bridges are used to get to the other side of something
Sometimes, due to the road mixture used, bridges can be icy while the rest of the road is not.

The geometric shape used in truss bridges is the triangle.
The most common materials used in bridge building are generally steel or concrete for larger bridges, and stone or wood for smaller bridges.
They are often built by military engineers to cross rivers where there are no bridges.
Steel is the most common, especially for suspension bridges. Concrete is used for lower bridges (and where little shifting will occur) because it is more resistant to the elements.
yes, they are used , that is why they are built.
