An Arch

Well, sweetheart, both beam and arch bridges are used to support weight and span a distance, but beam bridges have horizontal beams while arch bridges have a curved structure. Beam bridges are simpler to build and maintain, while arch bridges are better at handling heavy loads and spanning longer distances. So, pick your poison based on what you need - simplicity or strength.
An arch
Yes it is.

arch bridges can support more weight than beam bridges but for price i say beam won.

Arches are among the oldest forms of structural support. Unlike beam bridges, arch bridges are curved. The arch carries the weight outward along the curve to the supports on each end of the bridge, called abutments. The abutments carry the load and stop the bottom of the bridge from spreading out.
Arch bridge: the span beam of bridge is the shape of an arch & the load is diverted in compressive method. Beam bridge: the shape of beam span is of simply supported or continuous. here the load is diverted through bending compression method.
