          Bridges

          Anything  that  joins two

          far-off things or places  is

          called  a  bridge. A bridge

          connects  the  gap between

          two  pieces  of  land that

          are divided by a valley, an
          active road, a railway line,

          or a water  body. Bridges

          are built  to  carry people,

          vehicles,  and goods  from

          one side to another.


          People have been building bridges out of bamboo
          sticks, fallen tree  trunks,  etc. to cross difficult

          areas of land or water. Some villages and hilly

          areas still  have bamboo and rope  bridges  even

          now. They  construct  their  traditional  bridges,

          with ropes, bamboo, and wood logs.
