1. Cantilever bridge

   A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers). For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete. The steel truss cantilever bridge was a major engineering breakthrough when first put into practice, as it can span distances of over 1,500 feet (460 m), and can be more easily constructed at difficult crossings by virtue of using little or no falsework.

1. cantilever bridge

   A cantilever bridge is a type of bridge architecture that employs the principle of a cantilever, where a projecting structure is supported on only one end. This type of bridge uses two cantilever arms extending from opposite sides, meeting in the middle to span a space without vertical support in that space. The bridge's stability and balance come from the counterbalancing of the two arms, which transfer load stresses to the bridge's foundation, instead of requiring a supporting structure underneath the entire span. Cantilever bridges are often used in locations with difficult terrain or where construction underneath the bridge is challenging.
