Also known as bridge (structure), bridge (engineering), bridges

A bridge is a structure designed to span an obstacle, such as a river or valley, allowing vehicles, pedestrians, and other loads to pass across. Most bridges consist of a flat deck, supported by beams, arches, or cables. These structures rest on a foundation that is carefully designed to transfer the weight of the bridge to the subsoil without settling.

AI overview

A bridge is a structure built to cross obstacles like rivers or valleys, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to pass over them using a deck supported by beams, arches, or cables. Bridges matter because they require careful engineering to transfer their weight safely through foundations to the ground without settling, making them essential infrastructure for connecting separated areas.
