A '''through arch bridge''', also known as a '''through-type arch bridge''', is a [[bridge]] that is made from materials such as steel or reinforced concrete, in which the base of an arch structure is below the deck but the top rises above it. It can either be '''lower bearing''' or '''mid-bearing'''. Thus, the deck is within the arch, and cables or beams that are in [[tension (physics)|tension]] suspend the central part of the deck from the arch.
