This dimension groups transport infrastructure by what it was actually built from. Wikipedia notes that "most bridges consist of a flat deck, supported by beams, arches, or cables," and the material chosen shapes how long a structure lasts and what it can carry. Browsing by material lets a visitor compare structures built the same way even when they serve very different routes.
