to cross bodies of water such as arroyos, levys, and creeks
Bridges are classified by 3 criteria: material, structure, and construction method. Materials include steel, reinforced concrete, and stone. Bridge structures often seen range from cable suspension bridges to simple arch bridges. Bridges built with the cantilever effect are usually suspension bridges, and are supported only on one side until completion, whereas bridges built via the incremental launch method are built pieces at a time, with regular supports to the ground at each segment.
Bridges are almost invariably built from steel due to its high structural strength, flexibility and relatively low cost.
so that if they calaps the other one will not calaps together
Isambard Kingdom Brunel built the Hungerford and the Clifton suspension bridge
The first bridges were built by nature in the form of trees falling across streams. The first bridges build by humans were also made of wood logs and were simple in design, but did not support much weight.
Beam Bridges were built to make longer and more durable bridges.
arch bridges
Bridges can be built of many different materials including stone, concrete, wood and metals.
bridges, they built bridges and other things
They are often built by military engineers to cross rivers where there are no bridges.
No. Bridges can span any gap in the terrain.

There are different types of bridges. There are bridges that have been built to ease traffic congestion in large cities; bridges have been built across rivers and the ocean to allow cars and trucks to travel from one place to another; bridges have been built to allow pedestrians to pass over highways safely. Bridges link places, so people are able to travel with ease between places. Goods can be carried on bridges and therefore trade is made possible.
The early bridges that were built by early man were the log bridge. That is a a log was thrown across a river to cross.
Most bridges are manmade, built in the location where they are required. Some natural bridges of rock or timber exist in wilderness areas.
