Learn More About The Bridge Drawing
"London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady."
- "London Bridge," traditional English nursery rhyme, 1600s
A bridge " is a structure built to span a physical obstacle, such as a body of water, valley, or road, without closing the way underneath."
The type of bridge in our drawing guide is an arch bridge spanning a river. The curved platform helps it to carry the weight that travels across it.
Bridges have a very long history. The first bridges were likely stepping stones, or trees that fell across an opening or body of water.
The oldest arch bridge still in existence is located in Greece, and dates from the thirteenth century B.C. Six hundred year old bridges still exist in England.
Not surprisingly, bridges also feature in nursery rhymes and fairy tales such as Three Billy Goats Gruff, in which the animals must outsmart a troll in order to cross the bridge.

Today, modern materials and engineering allow for the creation of massive bridges. China's Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge, for example, is 114 kilometers (70.8 miles) long.
Some bridges, such as the Golden Gate Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge, are recognizable landmarks.
Others - such as glass-bottomed bridges across the Grand Canyon or between mountains near Gatlinburg, Tennessee - are meant to entertain tourists.
