Building of the Iron Bridge and Its Impact on the Surrounding Area

Influence on construction of the iron bridge and its surrounding area The iron bridge was originally built in 1779 and completed in 1781. The most important reason is severe weather and frequent flooding of the Severn River, sometimes the water level is very high, and the industry in this area is also increasing. Before the bridge was built, the ferry was used to transport cargo through the river, but the river could not enter during the winter and the spring.

Economic Impact: The Federal Housing Authority reported that the direct and indirect costs of the traffic roundabout caused by the construction of the bridge may actually exceed the cost of constructing the bridge itself. If lanes are closed in the center of a big city or on a high-traffic highway, there will be major economic impacts on the commercial and industrial enterprises in the surrounding area. Accidents and Injuries: Construction and traffic accidents often occur at bridge construction sites. Every year, there are about 2,000 deaths in the workplace. 44% of injured bridge builders involve vehicles passing through the work area, two-thirds of which are fatal.

After the first innovative iron bridge was built in 1778, as iron cheaper and more abundant it became a major structural material again. This bridge is still a monument to the role of iron in the industrial revolution. Later, iron was used in railways, ships, vessels, water pipes, buildings, iron cylinders were used in steam locomotives. The railway is always at the center of modernity and progressive thinking, and various languages ​​(French, Spanish, Italian, German etc) call railway the railroad.
