Bridge construction

The building of bridges.

Bridge construction is a major public works project. In the past, it was often a significant local event, crucial for transportation and safety. Traditionally, people would select an auspicious day to begin construction, believing this would ensure the bridge's stability and durability, a smooth building process, and safety for travelers. This reflects the value placed on public infrastructure and the wish for a successful project. While modern bridge construction is handled by professional teams, the custom of choosing an auspicious day for groundbreaking can still be seen in some places.
