In a particular region in India, the local people train the roots of living trees into robust bridges across the streams. As the time passes, these bridges become stronger. These unique living root bridges' are found in

The living root bridges are found in Meghalaya, where they are created by weaving tree roots over the course of many years.[1] Mawlynnong Village, situated in the East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, is renowned as the 'cleanest village in Asia' and[1] is known for its living root bridges. Southern Meghalaya in far northeastern India is one of the wettest places on Earth, crisscrossed by fast-flowing rivers and mountain streams, where bridges aren't built – they're grown, ensuring connectivity in a remote area.[2] Root bridges are commonly formed by training young rubber fig roots over scaffolds made from wood or bamboo, materials which are abundant in Northeast India.[3] This unique bio-engineering technique has been practiced by the indigenous Khasi and Jaintia tribes for centuries, creating bridges that indeed become stronger over time as the roots thicken and mature.
