Throughout history, bridges have had a profound impact on the way people move in their territories near and far to establish interactions with each other. Before these connecting structures came into existence, explorations that involved crossing a river or a deep ravine were considered to be dangerous and time-consuming, limiting people’s ability to trade or travel. Bridges have made it easier to cross such barriers and allowed humans to expand their horizons of settlements and trade. 

In this blog, we will learn about the various types of bridges and the top 21 most beautiful bridges in the world.

## Types of Bridges

Did you know that there are many different types of bridges, each with its unique design, engineering and construction methods? Let’s learn about them!

![Different types of bridges](https://blog.novatr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bridge-forms.webp?width=1600&height=747&name=bridge-forms.webp)*Different Types of Bridges*

- **Beam Bridges**: Beam bridges are simple and common bridge structures supported by horizontal beams stretching across two or more supports.
- **Arch Bridges**: These bridge structures use arches to support the bridge's weight and the load on it.
- **Tied-arch bridges**: These are bridge [structures](https://blog.novatr.com/blog/gravity-defying-structures) that support the bridge's weight and the load on it by using a curved arch tied down by vertical braces.
- **Suspension Bridges**: These long-span bridge structures are supported by cables suspended from towers, with the weight of the bridge and load on it transferred to anchorages at either end of the bridge.
- **Cable-stayed Bridges**: In these bridges, the cables are attached to the towers which alone bear the load.
- **Truss Bridges**: Truss bridges are bridge structures that use a series of interconnected trusses to distribute the bridge's weight and the load on it.
- **Cantilever Bridges**: Cantilever bridges are bridge structures that support the weight of the bridge and the load on it by using cantilevers.
- **Movable Bridges**: Movable bridges are bridge structures that can be opened, closed, or raised to allow boats and ships to pass underneath.

## Most Impressive Bridges in the World

From the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to the stunning Millau Viaduct, how bridges are designed can help place the locations on the global map, piquing the interest of visitors.
