It's extremely useful to a modern country to build roads and bridges as this is the main way of getting materials and people to where they are useful. In Europe and North America today almost all of our produce, food, and other materials are delivered to their final destination by truck. People are delivered to their jobs by cars or buses. None of these roads can cross rivers, hence bridges are important.
One perfect example of the importance of these was seen in the wars in Iraq, in the beginning the Allied air forces concentrated on bombing bridges and roads. This alone brought the Iraqi economy to a halt.

bridges...
they really did build the bridge
depends on the bridge type really. most are steel and concrete.
Since bridges were expensive to build, there were not very many of them. The result was that roads tended to converge on bridges. This concentrated traffic, and this, in turn, made the bridge an ideal spot to set up an inn, food stalls, a fair, and eventually, a town.
