The Bridge Project

What is the Bridge Project?

Have you ever considered how important bridges are?  We often take for granted the important role bridges play in our lives.  Without them, we would not be able to solely travel across large bodies of water and trenches safely.  Even though bridges are essential for life, the real importance lies in their construction. 

 

 During The Bridge Project, we were able to experience the challenges of designing and constructing a bridge.  Although it may seem to be a simple task, in reality, it is quite challenging.  This website was designed to share with others the problems we faced throughout the process.  As well, we are able to share the success we received once we had completed.
