Bridge Engineering is one aspect of

structural engineering. Bridges are key

structures that serve our communities in
different aspects. ... Bridges can be of
different materials, such as concrete,
steel and timber, but also of different
types like trusses, arches, cable-stayed
and suspension bridges.
What kind of Engineers build
bridges?
In terms of transportation, civil engineers
build bridges, tunnels, freeway
interchanges, and other structures that are
designed to facilitate the smooth, even flow
of traffic.
