Bridges

Did you know there are many different kinds of bridges?

Our Fairfield bridge is an Arch bridge

We have found out about these bridges
   Arch,                  Beam,                  Suspension
Cantilever,             Drawbridge,                Swing
Use our diagram to help you choose which one is which!!
 


 


 



Did you know that every bridge has ...
an abutment                                              a deck
 piers                                                         a beam
  pillars                                            support girders
and you will find trusses, especially on a Truss bridge!

  1. We liked reading your learning about the bridges. You used great technical words to describe the bridges. We loved your sketches and the photos of the different types of bridges.
