cantilever bridges

A cantilever bridge is a type of bridge that is supported only at one end, allowing the other end to extend outwards without external support. It uses a structure called a cantilever, which is a beam fixed at one end and free at the other, to hold up the bridge deck. This design lets the bridge span large distances while maintaining stability. Cantilever bridges are often made of steel or reinforced concrete and can be found in various settings, emphasizing both strength and aesthetic appeal. Examples include the Forth Bridge in Scotland and the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Canada.
