Living Root Tree Bridges

Longevity

Once the understructure and the root-carriages are set, the entire formation of roots and strengthening would take around ten to fifteen years on average.

In contrast to the modern day mantra of planned obsolescence, these bridges are nurtured (rather than made) to get stronger over the years and can last centuries. As it consists at times, multiple trees that grow and form the bridges, the strength and durability is awe-inspiring.
