Bridges play an important role for humanity. Their presence can reduce the time spent on the road, overcoming obstacles (rivers, ponds, precipice) blank that is valuable both from an economic and from a practical point of view. Bridges are distinguished by two main parameters: skipping load (rail, road, walking, combined) and the static scheme (beam, truss, spacers, pontoon).
