What is a "bridge pier"?
A bridge pier is a vertical support structure used to hold up a bridge. It is typically made of strong materials like concrete, stone, or steel and is placed in the water or on the ground to provide stability. Bridge piers help distribute the weight of the bridge and resist forces from vehicles and environmental conditions, such as wind and water. They are often designed to withstand heavy loads and may be positioned at intervals along the length of the bridge, ensuring the overall strength and safety of the structure.
