Bridges of this type were very common in mountainous region of India, Nepal and Tibet with an average span of 20 metres (66 ft), but those from Bhutan have the particularity of being more elaborate with stone masonry bridge towers, roofed with wooden shingles above the

The rupture and fall of a glacier into a lake in 1958 created a devastating wave that swept the Mo-Chhu River for miles, taking with it the tree trunks that destroyed the cantilever bridge. The west tower, on the side of the dzong, spared was preserved during the restoration of 2006-2008, the other

After making more than a hundred such bridges in Tibet, Thang Tong Gyalpo came to Bhutan in 1433 where he found big iron ore deposits and locals blacksmiths, many chains forged here were shipped from Bhutan to Tibet. He build 8 bridges in the country, oftentime near ore deposits, and some of them

Cantilever beams were developed in order to cross increasingly wide streams or rivers, where simple wooden beams had a limited range of about 10 meters. Two arms with timber superimposed are built on either side of the river, above the highest flood-level point, while being weighted to allow an

The use of more layers of wooden beams with more pronounced inclinations permit to achieve greater spans, one of the most significant example is the
Wangdue Zam with a span reported from 112 to 180 feet (34.1 to 54.9 m) according to different sources. The renovation of the

Also called Wangdü, Wangdi or
