A truss bridge is a type of bridge that utilizes a triangular framework, or truss, to support its structure and distribute loads. This design increases strength and stability while minimizing material use, making it both efficient and cost-effective. Truss bridges are commonly constructed from steel or wood and are often used for their ability to span long distances without the need for intermediate supports. Their distinctive geometric patterns are not only functional but also aesthetically appealing.
