What are bridges?

A bridge is like a path that connects two places that are far apart, kind of like how a ramp helps you get from one level to another in your favorite playground.

Imagine you're playing with toy cars, and there's a big river between you and your friend. If you want your car to go from your side to theirs, you need something to cross the river, that’s where a bridge comes in! It’s like a special road or path that goes over the water (or another gap), letting things move from one place to another.

Bridges are built strong so they can hold up cars, people, and even trains. They use supports, kind of like how you might use blocks to build a tall tower. These supports help spread out the weight, making sure the bridge doesn’t sag or break under pressure.

Some bridges go over water, some go over valleys, and others connect buildings in a city, but they all do the same thing: connect places that are far apart, just like a ramp connects two levels in your favorite playground.
