The "Wooden Bridge" is a structure made primarily of wood, designed to span a physical obstacle such as a river or valley. These bridges are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal and natural materials, which can blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment. They can vary in design, including simple beam bridges or more complex truss structures. Historically, wooden bridges have been used for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations. They are typically less expensive to construct than their metal or concrete counterparts, but they may require more maintenance due to susceptibility to weathering and pests. Examples of famous wooden bridges include the Kapellbrücke in Switzerland and the Covered Bridges in New England.
