  1. What Are The Different Types Of Bridges?

  2. Overview Clearly, bridges are tremendously important for a nation. Bridges connect people, goods, and transports. In fact, they are crucial for human life and the economy. Therefore, it’s imperative to maintain them well. America is struggling with an infrastructure crisis for the last few years. However, things are getting better after the public-private partnership which involves an agreement between private transportation infrastructure companies and the US government. According to this agreement, a private transportation infrastructure agency invests in bridge infrastructure fundsto help the government in repairing structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges.

  3. Let’s Dive Into Some Different Types Of Bridges: Beam Bridge Arch Bridge Suspension Bridge

  4. Beam Bridge It is a very simple type of bridge that requires less investment. In order to build this bridge, you need a crossbeam covering the span, supported by an abutment at each end. Sadly, this type of bridge is less stable. However, adding supports like stanchions or piers can help you create a stable bridge. The 24-mile Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana and the 3.2-mile Yolo Causeway near Sacramento are some examples of Beam Bridge.

  5. Arch Bridge Well, previously Romans built several stone arch bridges! In fact, some of them are still present. The Pont-Saint-Martin bridge in Italy’s Aosta Valley is an example of an Arch Bridge. Clearly, arch bridges are based on the principle called compression.

  6. Suspension Bridge It is the most recognizable type of bridge in the United States. As the name suggests, a suspension bridge involves pillars that are connected with suspension cables. The most iconic bridge named Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is the biggest example of a suspension bridge. More than 10 million people visit this bridge every year.
