concrete bridge

Poured span structure

A concrete bridge is a bridge constructed primarily from concrete, often reinforced with steel.

The term appears in engineering and infrastructure contexts: The old concrete bridge needed repairs after decades of heavy traffic.

Concrete bridges range from simple overpasses to massive spans crossing rivers and gorges.
