The development and use of iron in these bridges soon led to the use of iron lower chords and other components, and this was followed by the combination bridges consisting of iron diagonals and lower chords with timber used as compression members.

Its structure is similar to that of the state and national governments, with an elected mayor as chief of the executive branch and an elected council that represents the various neighborhoods forming the legislative branch.
