Iron Arch Bridge

An Iron Arch Bridge is a type of bridge that uses a curved, arch-shaped structure made primarily of iron to support its span. The arch transfers the weight of the bridge and any loads, like vehicles or pedestrians, down into the supports or foundations at each end. This design efficiently distributes forces, enabling the bridge to cover long distances with fewer supports. Iron, being strong and durable, was commonly used before steel became prevalent. These bridges are valued for their strength, aesthetic appeal, and ability to blend functionality with architectural beauty.
