What distances do modern arch bridges typically span?
Modern arch bridges are held up by trusses. Typically these bridges span from two hundred feet up to eight hundred feet, or 4 meters. Arch bridges are smaller and span more narrow bodies of water.
How long are truss bridges?
the longest span of a truss bridge is 2.1 miles long
Are all bridges built over water?
No. Bridges can span any gap in the terrain.
What is the best definition of a span?

Where is the longest single span bridge in the world and what kind of bridge is it?
The longest single span bridges are suspension bridges. Currently the longest is the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in Japan. Its main span is 1,991 metres.
How are all bridges alike?
They all seek to span a gap.

What are the Strengths and weaknesses of major types of bridges?
Major types of bridges, such as beam, arch, and suspension bridges, each have distinct strengths and weaknesses. Beam bridges are simple and cost-effective for short spans but can be limited in load capacity. Arch bridges are strong and aesthetically pleasing, effectively distributing loads, but they require solid abutments and are less suitable for very long spans. Suspension bridges can span great distances and support heavy loads, yet they are complex to design and build, making them more expensive.
What is the biggest difference between the three types of bridges?
The design, the load, and its resistance to weather. The biggest though, is the way it holds up weight. This really effects the maxium span. The biggest difference is the span of the bridges.
