The act or craft of constructing bridges, including the design and building process.
From 'bridge' (Old English 'brycg', of Germanic origin) + 'making' (Old English 'macian'). The compound emerged in technical English to describe the specialized profession of bridge construction.
Bridgemaking represents one of humanity's earliest engineering achievements—ancient Romans were master bridgemakers, and their arch-based designs still stand today, proving that good engineering is literally built to last millennia.
