The history of the first bridge built cannot be known. It was possibly by some nameless person in ancient times, perhaps using a fallen tree or limb to cross a stream.
It undoubtedly pre-dates any written or verbal record.

Then I imagine people came putting stepping stones in a river. That might have led to something being placed on top of the stones.
Bridges are so old as to leave no trace of who built the first - not even what country/people first developed them. In Europe, they pre-date the Roman Empire - and in Asia it is known that the ancient Chinese had them.
