How to Build a Bridge

Evan Davis presents the business magazine. How do you build a bridge? Are you limited by economics or engineering? Evan and three civil engineers discuss.

Civil engineers would argue they are the unsung heroes of the railways, roads and bridges we all take for granted. But building major infrastructure projects is a complicated business. So how do you go about putting up a bridge? Are you limited by engineering or economics? Evan Davis tries to find the answer from three civil engineers.
