I'm going to make a list of everything you need to consider for the supervision and design of the bridge.

1. the materials with which you are going to build it.

2. the length of the bridge.

3. The dynamic and static load to which the bridge will be subjected.

4. How corrosive is the environment where it will be built.

5. wind forces

6. The force due to possible earthquakes.

7. If it is going to be built in an environment where snow falls.

8. The bridge is unique, so the shape has a geometry that resists loads?.

9. bridge costs.

10. Personal and necessary machines.

11. how much the river grows
