The three pictures below show three different kinds of bridges. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The three illustrations compare three specific types of bridge contructions, which are the arch bridge, the concrete girger bridge and the suspension bridge.
Overall, three kinds of bridge are strikingly different in terms of the type of water body and the size of the ship they allow to passage.
Regarding the arch bridge, the maxium of the bridge's height and width are 100 meters and 200 meters, respectively. It is located over the lake and only permits the movement of the small ship.
Looking at the concrete girder bridge, the height of this bridge can be more increased thanks to the support of piers, which is up to 300 meters. Although the space of two piers are limited (200 meters), there are a large number of spaces that allow the middle size ships passing by at the same time. Because of these reasons, it is built across the river.
Turning to the suspension bridge, the piers of this bridge are updated to be stronger than that of the concrete girder bridge. Thus, the width is widen to 400-2000 meters, which gives way for the large size ship. It is suitable for being located over the sea.
