According to the page,
Materials: When choosing materials, the order that they are presented on the list determines how the bridge will be labeled, NOT WHAT ORDER YOU PICK THE MATERIALS! The highest one up on the list is the core construction material. This will define the color of the bridge (and possibly how fire resistant it is, although this hasn't been tested extensively). Materials are placed on the list in order of distance, so simply make sure the primary material is the closest or at least closer than any secondary materials you wish to use.
…this isn't true in my experience. I was building a 3x6 bridge across a brook, with dolomite being both the nearest material and the first material listed. (I agree that the material list is sorted by distance.) However, the bridge, when I chose (1 dolomite, 4 granite) was always granite. It wasn't until dolomite became the majority material (i.e., 3 dolomite, 2 granite) that the bridge itself became dolomite.
Sure DF doesn't just choose the material that occurs the most as the bridge's material?

Does this page need a Strategies section at all? I think it should simply cover bridge basics and fundamentals, like Lever, perhaps some general enhancement concepts like Pressure plate, etc, and leave more complex & specific constructions to the many pages devoted to them, like Trap design, Security design, etc. Move the complex designs to Trap Design, or maybe just replace them with an "Also see: Trap Design".
