A bridge is a good example of a structure. Can you think of the names of any local bridges ?

 
 
 

Bridges are needed for a variety of reasons. Generally, they ‘bridge’ a gap between the banks of a river or they span the distance between two sides of a valley. They are made from materials including stone and steel. Bridges can carry people, cars, lorries, railways and even rivers.
