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.


![Bridge No 37 at Kingswood Junction, Warwickshire. This bridge is at the end of the quarter of a mile Lapworth Link Canal from the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal to the Grand Union Canal. The bridge carries the towpath of the Grand Union Canal. The northern part of the Stratford Canal terminated here in 1803, before being extended southwards from the other end of the link during 1812-1815.[[[1712919]]] by Roger D Kidd – 06 September 2008](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/71/36/1713695_4770d381_120x120.jpg)







![Kingswood Junction, Grand Union Canal. The short spur from the Stratford on Avon Canal main line shown in [[3812663]] passes under bridge 37 which carries the GUC towpath over the Stratford to join the GUC. Judging by the damage to the brickwork, many boats have failed to successfully negotiate this turn in the past. by Christopher Hall – 19 April 2011](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/81/28/3812883_6e85079e_120x120.jpg)
