- #1What is the Pontoon Bridge? Why has it been made?Ans : A Pontoon Bridge is a temporary floating platform built across several boats or hollow structures or we can say it's a floating bridge. It was the time when Spanish Civil war broke out and the scene was a typical war zone when the civilians were fleeing and the vehicles were moving across the bridge to protect themselves from the enemy's attack. The scene was 12 kilometres away from the town of the San Carlos and the temporary bridge had been made to help the people move out of the war zone.
