Fontana bridge

A Fontana Bridge is a big construction that helps people cross over bodies of water, like a river or a lake. It's kind of like a really long and strong version of the bridges people build with blocks when they play.

The Fontana Bridge is special because it's in a higher area called the mountains. This means it was built to be very high up and go through a lot of rocky and bumpy terrain. Imagine if you were building a bridge over your toy cars mountain set, but your cars were big trucks and you had to build it really high up so they wouldn't get stuck.

To build the Fontana Bridge, people had to use really big machines to dig and shape the rocks and dirt. They laid down huge metal beams and bolts to create strong base that can support a lot of weight. Then, they added big pieces of concrete called "pillars" to hold the bridge up in the air.

The Fontana Bridge is really important because it helps people get across the water, which is hard to do on their own. It connects different parts of the mountain, allowing people to travel easier and faster. So next time you see a bridge, you can think about how they were built and how they help people every day.
