Wikipedia has a page about Bridge
A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle, such as a body of water, valley, or road, without closing the way underneath. It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it and the funds available to build it.
Most likely, the earliest bridges were fallen trees and stepping stones, while Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese, in southern Greece is one of the oldest arch bridges still in existence and use.

![Weak Bridge!. This is the northern end of a bridge over the River Erne three miles east of Belleek. It carries a link road between the two major routes (A46 and A47) which follow the south and north shores respectively of Lower Lough Erne. The warning sign here clearly indicates the temporary nature of the repairs which have been made to the nearest (northern) span of this eight span bridge, in which parts of a British Army ‘Bailey Bridge’ of World War 2 origin and decking of wooden planks have been used. The same “temporary†situation was evident when Kenneth Allen crossed the bridge six years ago!
