Life expectancy:

Taking the Long Road: Studying Timber Bridge Service Life. ... Claims are made that
the expected longevity of concrete and steel bridges stands at 75 years or more,
whereas timber bridges (which engineers are less familiar with) are estimated to last
only 20–30 years.

Advantages of timber truss:
Extremely strong
The structure of interconnecting triangles means that the load-bearing
capacity of truss bridges is huge. The structure effectively manages both
compression and tension, by spreading out the load from the roadway
throughout its intricate structure. This means that no one part of the
structure is carrying a disproportionate amount of weight. Sort of a ‘chain is
only as strong as its weakest link’ type of situation.
Uses materials effectively
While the truss bridge has many, many linked parts to make up its
structure—its use of materials is extremely effective. Materials such as
wood, iron and steel are all utilised to their highest potential, and every
piece plays a role. The building of a large truss bridge can be a very
economical option, when compared to other bridge designs.
Withstands extreme conditions
Where other bridges such as beam and arch bridges may not be a viable
option, truss bridges come into their own. They are able to span great
lengths, and often used in precarious locations such as deep ravines
between mountaintops. You’ll regularly see truss bridges in use throughout
mountainous areas to carry railways.
Roadways built on to the structure
Unlike other bridge designs, the truss bridge is able to carry its roadway on
its structure. The load can be carried above (deck truss), along the middle
(through truss) or on a bottom truss, which sits below the major truss
structure. The options make the truss bridge both versatile and economical
to build.

Tuwing kalian :
Timber bridges must be periodically maintained or rehabilitated in order to
keep them in a condition that will give optimum performance and service
life. Effective bridge maintenance programs improve public safety, extend
the service life of the structure, and reduce the frequency and cost of
repairs.
