Why are trusses are so useful in structures?
With trusses you can obtain high strength of the bridge using rather thin and simple (i.e. cheap) elements. A drawback is that the required height of the side of the bridge rises with the span of the bridge, so trusses become less effective for larger spans compared to the cable bridges. Railway bridges have to sustain higher load than road bridges (trains are heavier), so trusses are an efficient design to increase strength.
What materials are used to build a cantilever bridge?
The materials that are used to build a cantilever bridge are typically structural steel, iron, and also prestressed and reinforced concrete. The materials listed create the multiple parts of the bridge. These include the trusses, vertical columns, box girders, and most importantly, the cantilever itself.

Why you need trusses?
Roof trusses are used to support the roof and to make certain that the weight of the roof is distributed equally across the building for maximum support.
What is the suspension bridge made out of?
Truss Bridges=Trusses have been used extensively in bridges since the early 19th Century. Early truss bridges were made of wood.==in additon the classic American covered bridges are all trusses, though the wooden truss members are covered by walls and a roof, for protection from the elements. Later truss bridges were made of cast iron and wrought iron. Most modern trusses are made of structural steel.=
