According to a very simple definition, a bridge is ‘a structure carrying a road, path, railway, etc. across a river, road, or other obstacle’. As a matter of fact, some of them are genuine works of art showing how technologically advanced our civilization has become.
Building a big strong bridge is not easy. Architects have to take into consideration several factors, including earthquakes, traffic congestion or winds as even a moderate blow can cause very dangerous vibrations.
All in all, the final product is often astonishing. Come and take a look yourselves!
