Beam bridges are the simplest type of bridge. In its most basic form, all that is needed is a crossbeam long enough to cover the span, and support from abutments under each end. To achieve a longer continuous span, (e.g., over 250 ft (80 m), piers need to be added to provide extra support. When doing this it means you create a series of bridges joined together.
