How have bridges developed over time and what has enabled these development?
bridges have developed over times because they have found different materials to make bridges out of and it enabled it because we were already advanced in building bridges and then we found steel that made the bridges extra stable and reliable that some that was built 100 years ago are still here now!
How does a suspension bridge keep itself from moving?
A suspension bridge does move. Over the course of history engineers have implemented the use of different materials so suspension bridges are not as "wobbly", but they still move. They also have parts called rockers which are locked in between the truss and the arches. This keeps the bridge from being to stiff and helps release some of the stress.

What is the name of the oldest bridge that is still working?
I believe it is the Clifton Suspension bridge in Bristol, which was built by I K Brunel (who built the first suspension bridge) completed in 1864 using chains from Hungerford bridge which he had also built. Actually the Menai suspension bridge, which crosses the Menai Straits between mainland North Wales and the Isle of Anglesey, was built by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826. So that would make it a lot earlier than the Clifton bridge.
