What are the different types of bridge replacement?

There are several types of bridge replacement, including:

1. Full Replacement: The entire bridge structure is removed and replaced with a new one.
2. Partial Replacement: Only a portion of the structure is replaced, typically due to damage or aging.
3. Rehabilitation: The existing bridge is repaired, reinforced, or modified to extend its lifespan and/or increase its capacity.
4. Reuse: The existing bridge is relocated and reused in a different location or repurposed for a new use, such as a pedestrian walkway or park feature.
5. Temporary Replacement: A temporary bridge is installed to maintain traffic flow while the permanent bridge is being replaced or repaired.
