* Mechanical demolition: Mechanical demolition involves the use of heavy equipment, such as bulldozers and excavators, to break down the bridge. This method is often used when the bridge is not in a convenient location for explosives or when there are concerns about environmental damage.
* Hydraulic demolition: Hydraulic demolition uses high-pressure water jets to break down the concrete and other materials that make up the bridge. This method is often used when the bridge is in a sensitive environment or when there are concerns about noise or vibration.
* Implosion: Implosion is a technique that uses explosives to create a negative pressure inside the bridge, causing it to collapse inward. This method is often used when the bridge is in a crowded area or when there are concerns about flying debris.
