The provided bow string bridge is a type of arch bridge that uses a curved chord, or a bowstring, to support the load of the bridge deck. The bowstring is made of steel and acts as both the arch and the tension member of the bridge, while the deck is supported by vertical hangers or tie rods that connect to the bowstring. The advantage of the bow string bridge is provides a wide, clear span without the need for piers or supports in the middle of the waterway or roadway. This makes it suitable for situations where there is a need for unobstructed passage for boats, traffic, or pedestrians. It can also be built relatively quickly and at a lower cost than other types of bridges, making them a popular choice for short to medium-span crossings.
