Beam bridge: construction that allows automobiles to travel between two points separated by an obstacle.Pile: masonry pylon that serves as support.Deck: platform of the bridge.Pile base: lower part of a masonry pylon support.

Arch bridge: construction that allows automobiles to travel between two points separated by an obstacle.Portal frame: construction that carries the weight of a suspended load to the ground.Arch: arched vault that is supported by the abutments..Lower chord: lower supporting piece.Upper chord: upper supporting piece.Pile: masonry pylon that serves as support

Suspension bridge: construction that allows automobiles to travel between two points separated by an obstacle.Side span: segment between two pylons at the ends of a bridge.Centre span: segment between two pylons at the centre of a bridge.Side pylon: tower-like vertical construction situated at the side, usually supporting the cables of a suspension bridge or a cable-stayed bridge.Foundation of a pylon: very durable lower part of a tower.Suspender: support cable.Suspension cable: set of braided wire that supports a bridge.Pylon: tower-like vertical support that usually supports the cables of a suspension bridge or a cable-stayed bridge.Stiffening girder: tightener beam.

Bridge (cross section): construction that allows automobile to travel between two points separated by an obstacle.Parapet: parapet constructed to prevent people from falling off a bridge.Sidewalk: raised passage at the side reserved for pedestrian traffic.Deck: platform of a bridge.

Assembled with bolts: construction using nuts and bolts.Stiffening beam: longitudinal piece that hold an iron cable.Longitudinal stiffener: mechanism used to tighten an iron cable.Pylon: generally tower-like support.
