Easily the most recognisable bridge type there is (other than a beam bridge), period. Suspension bridges are those larger than life constructs that combine suspension cables with large pylons and suspenders. All of this keeps this type of bridge upright, and free from any issues relating to the weather.

The Golden Gate Bridge consists of tin 746-foot orange towers and various suspension cables that sew in and around said towers. It’s one-mile-wide, and it opened in May of 1937 after a four-year construction period.

Footbridges tend to be a lot more experimental when it comes to design and construction. Bridges like the Simone de Beauvoir Bridge in Paris, and the Moses Bridge in the Netherlands are perfect examples of this.

A pipeline bridge is one of the only bridge examples that doesn’t involve holding up a person or vehicle in any way. Pipelines are used to transport gas or liquids from one location to another.

Tied-arch bridges or bowstring bridges, call it whatever you like. Like beam bridges, tied-arch bridges are very common, more so in parts of Europe. It gets the bowstring name from its overall shape, which does have that very grand sort of style to it.

The Ikitsuki Bridge is known as a continuous truss bridge, which should come as no surprise since it runs for 400 metres (or 1,300 feet).

If you live in a rural area, then the likelihood of you coming across, and crossing, an arch bridge is quite high. It’s actually one of the oldest bridge designs there is, with some of the earliest arch bridges dating back more than 3,000 years, if you can believe that

There are many different configurations of a truss bridge, but you will notice they all use triangular sections typically bound together by welded or riveted joints. The trusses are constructed vertically and horizontally which absorb tension and compression. The end result is a structure and decking area capable of withstanding relatively strong winds.

If you aren’t familiar with the cantilever principle, think of a diving board that is supported at just one end. A cantilever bridge is built using pillars securely anchored to the ground. The structure is then constructed outwards from each pillar with the horizontal beam often supported using diagonal bracing.

The cable-stayed bridge dates back to the 16th century and remains a popular design for spans greater than those of cantilever bridges – but shorter than the longest suspension bridges.

The principle of a suspension bridge is not new – early designs simply used rope and wooden planks. Today, they are a popular design for long road bridges – thanks to the ability to create large spans across broad channels. Probably the most famous of all is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, US. A suspension bridge uses vertical towers or pylons constructed from steel or reinforced concrete.

A tied-arch or bowstring bridge uses features seen in both a suspension bridge and an arched bridge. However, unlike a traditional arched bridge, the arch is positioned above the deck and uses vertical cables attached to support the deck.

Arch types of bridges use one or more arches as the main structural component, with the arches positioned beneath the deck. This method dates back many thousands of years, with stone and brick being the most commonly used materials. However, in modern times you will see arch bridges constructed from concrete.

Beam bridges are the simplest type of bridge. In its most basic form, all that is needed is a crossbeam long enough to cover the span, and support from abutments under each end. To achieve a longer continuous span, (e.g., over 250 ft (80 m), piers need to be added to provide extra support. When doing this it means you create a series of bridges joined together.
