How bridges are built over water?

Bridges built over water are marvels of engineering no matter how shallow or deep the water may be. But how exactly are these bridges built, particularly over deep water?
It turns out there are three main techniques for the construction of such bridges and they are battered piles, cofferdams, and caissons.

[@victorpradha9946]

My father (retired now) used to do the engineering calculations behind bridges. As a kid, I used to marvel at them whenever we drove over bridges that "do their job" based on his calculations. I think about the millions of trips taken by drivers over the years across the bridges that he made sure were safe and structurally sound. All those people whose lives he positively impacted are unaware of his contributions. We all impact one another, in many untold ways...it is our responsibility to move through this life with benevolence and virtue!

@@DaGr8Depression Ignore or do nothing. Or maybe take a beat to realize that the road you drive on, the car your drive, the building you work in, elevator you ride to your office and much more rely upon the conscientiousness and personal integrity of those who were charge to manufacture, deliver, assemble and finish the work of constructing them and others to check on their soundness and properness for use as intended (and maybe a little beyond that). And perhaps you can appreciate how good will and virtue play an oh so significant role in our lives.

It depends on how deep the particular area is. I think there are depths that can be reached, and others that can't be. I've heard of depths that are twice as high as volcanic mountains. I doubt a bridge will be constructed in such an area. However, I'm sure somebody could figure out how to do even that.
