1. Straight Alignment:When the
alignment of bridge isperpendicular to thecentre line of a river, itis called straight bridge.
2. Skew Bridge:When the
alignment of a bridge isnot perpendicular to thecentre line of river, iscalled Skew Bridge.

2. Through Bridge:When the bridge
flooring is provided atthe bottom of the superstructure, it is calledThrough Bridge.
3. Semi-Through Bridge:When the flooring
is located at someintermediate level in thesuper structure, it iscalled Semi-ThroughBridge.

2. Viaduct:It is a long continuous
structure which carries aroad or railway like bridgeover dry valley composed ofa series of spans trestlebents instead of solid piers.
3. Grade separator:When two roads crosses
each other and there isconsiderable differences intheir formation level, abridge structure isconstructed , which is knownas grade separator.
4. Highway Bridge:It is constructed on a
roadway for the movementof vehicles.

1. Slab Bridge:When the span of
bridge is 3 to 6m, slabbridge is used, It is alsocalled culvert.
2. Girder bridge:When the span of a
bridge is more, flooringis supported on RCC orsteel girder. Such typeof bridge is calledgirder bridge.

4. Suspension Bridge:
Suspension bridges consists of sets ofcables hanging in a curve from which theroadway is supported.
A flooring load is transferred suspendersand cables to the piers.

5. Arch Bridge:
In such type of bridge the weight offlooring is transferred to the piers through thearch. the floor beam is suspended troughhangers from arch.

1.Submersible bridge orcauseway:
A road causeway is apucca dip which allowsfloods to pass over it. It mayor may not have openings orvents for low water to flow.
2. Non-Submersible bridge:In this types of bridge
formation level is kept abovethe HFL, so that maximumflood does not affect thetraffic on the bridge.

1. Simply supported Bridge:
When the bridge girders are simplysupported on piers, it is known as simplysupported bridges.
2. Continuous Bridge:
When the super structure of a bridge iscontinuous over more than two supports, it iscalled continuous bridge.

3. Cantilever bridge:
A cantilever bridge is formed of cantileversprojecting from the supporting piers. The endsof a cantilever bridges are treated as fixed.
4. Balanced cantilever bridge:
A balanced cantilever bridge consists ofspans simply supported over cantilever.

In case of traverser bridge, it is so arrangedthat the whole bridge can fully or partially be rolledforward or backward across the openings.
4. Lift bridge:
In this type of bridge the truss is lifted up.
5. Transporter bridge:
In case of transporter bridge, a moving cage issuspended from an overhead truss with the help ofcable or wire ropes.
