While structures, bridges act similar to a [[floor]] tile. Unlike the water they're built on, bridges don't penalize move speed, making travel faster. They can also support structures that require a terrain affordance of "light", such as wooden [[walls]] and buildings, but not structures that require medium or heavy terrain affordance, like any other type of wall. [[Floor]]s cannot be constructed on top of bridges.

The terrain types that allow bridges do not allow floors. If the terrain is unsuited to a [[moisture pump]], or pumps are unavailable, bridges are the only way to improve the movement speed, [[cleanliness]] and [[beauty]] of such tiles or enable them to count as "floored" for the bedroom and throne room needs of a pawn with a noble [[title]].

Bridges are essential if you need certain objects on water, marsh or mud, such as wooden [[wall]]s. Bridges can also support [[moisture pump]]s directly over water, allowing them to more efficiently remove the water than if built on the shore. And due to the faster move speed, you can speed up colonists by placing bridges through their path. [[Raider]]s can also path through the bridge, giving you some control over their movement.

Bridges are essential if you need certain objects on water or marshy soil, such as wood [[wall]]s, or [[moisture pump]]s, which removes the water. Due to the faster move speed, colonists and [[raider]]s alike may path through the bridge, allowing you to control their movement. In practice, raiders will not attack ''any'' wall unless 1. they are [[sapper]]s or [[breacher]]s, or 2. they have no reasonable target they have access to, so surrounding your [[watermill generator]]s with wooden walls is relatively safe.

In practice, raiders will not attack ''any'' wall or door unless:
 
−
# They are [[sapper]]s or [[breacher]]s; or  
 
−
# They have no reasonable target to access to without breaking a wall.
 
−
Therefore, wooden walls are relatively safe to use. For example, bridges and walls can be used to surround your [[watermill generator]]s, making them almost non-targets for raiders.

[[Power conduit]]s can be built on bridges, replacing the need for [[waterproof conduit]]s. The latter costs {{Icon Small|steel||10}} [[steel]], which is 10x more than a regular conduit. However, the bridge has its own wood cost, and bridges are much more vulnerable to [[fire]].

−
Because bridges have a significantly lower pathcost compared to water and mud, [[raiders]] will naturally prefer to path over most bridges but will also not attract attacks from breachers like walls used to constrict passages. This can be exploited by placing traps on the bridges for raiders to trigger. While [[spike trap]]s will work for this purpose, [[IED trap]]s are particularly effective especially when paired with a large [[roof]] supported by a wooden wall that will be destroyed by the IED's detonation, dropping the roof on the enemies for additional damage.    
 
  
−
This strategy works even if the bridge does not cross the entire span of the water, as even the small improvement in path cost is often enough to tempt raiders to use them.
