Bridge

A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it.

Etymology

The Oxford English Dictionary traces the origin of the word bridge to an Old English word brycg, of the same meaning. The word can be traced directly back to Proto-Indo-European *bʰrēw-. The word for the card game of the same name has a different origin.

History

The first bridges made by humans were probably spans of cut wooden logs or planks and eventually stones, using a simple support and crossbeam arrangement. Some early Americans used trees or bamboo poles to cross small caverns or wells to get from one place to another. A common form of lashing sticks, logs, and deciduous branches together involved the use of long reeds or other harvested fibers woven together to form a connective rope capable of binding and holding together the materials used in early bridges.

Bridges (Joe album)

Bridges is the eleventh studio album by American recording artist Joe, released on June 24, 2014. It is his first album under his new label Plaid Takeover Entertainment after severing business ties with his longtime manager Kedar Massenburg. The first single released from the album was "Love & Sex Pt. 2", which features singer Kelly Rowland.

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 15,126 copies in the United States. In its second week, the album dropped to number 40, selling 7,000 copies, bringing its total album sales to 22,000.
