That was basically just the process of creating bridges back then, it’s not far off from how it works today…
I don’t think that was an avoidable issue, you need to build temporary support structures while bridge building is in progress. In other words, if an extensive support structure is a deal breaker for you, it turns out you’re not building a bridge today.
Sure, but think of the scale of what they would need and the technology they had. 1000 feet long and as tall as a ship, carrying a stone structure that would weigh probably hundreds or thousands of tons, across what I’d imagine was a pretty busy waterway.
