Erecting river crossings
Bridge construction is the process of building structures that span physical obstacles—rivers, valleys, roads, or railways.
The term covers everything from design and engineering to the physical assembly of components.
It encompasses various techniques depending on bridge type: suspension, arch, beam, or cable-stayed.
