View of the Nissequogue River from a train crossing the trestle in 2024. Standing at a height of approximately 50 feet (15 meters) and measuring 484 feet (148 meters) in length, the Smithtown Trestle carries the LIRR's Port Jefferson Branch over the valley below, Jericho Turnpike (NY 25), and the Nissequogue River.
Beam bridges are the simplest structural forms for bridge spans supported by an abutment or pier at each end. [1] No moments are transferred throughout the support, hence their structural type is known as simply supported. The simplest beam bridge could be a log (see log bridge), a wood plank, or a stone slab (see clapper bridge) laid

A trestle bridge is a bridge composed of a number of short spans supported by closely spaced frames. A trestle (sometimes tressel) is a rigid frame used as a support, historically a tripod used to support a stool or a pair of isosceles triangles joined at their apices by a plank or beam such as the support structure for a trestle table .

Falsework includes temporary support structures for formwork used to mold concrete [1] in the construction of buildings, bridges, and elevated roadways. The British Standards of practice for falsework, BS 5975:2008, defines falsework as "Any temporary structure used to support a permanent structure while it is not self-supporting."
The Cottonwood Creek Bridge is a bridge in Fallon County, Montana near the town of Ismay, built in 1934. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. From 1926 to 1941, at least 1,242 timber stringer bridges were built in Montana; this is one of very few intact surviving bridges.
A licensed engineer can help operators design a safe, appropriate timber bridge. Personnel from Virginia Tech have described in detail how to build a stringer bridge using standard bridge design procedures, for example, by placing timber stringers across the abutment, using a bent to support a trestle or timber frame. Their methods are quick ...
