The game offers a nostalgic experience for those who enjoyed bridge-building games in the past.
It provides a fun challenge with various levels that require creative solutions to build stable bridges.
The graphics are decent, and the game can be entertaining for casual play.

The physics engine is inconsistent, leading to unpredictable results where identical designs can fail or succeed randomly.
The user interface is clunky and unintuitive, making it difficult to perform basic tasks like deleting or moving components.
There is a lack of tutorials or guidance, leaving players to figure out mechanics and controls on their own, which can be frustrating.

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many users describing them as outdated, mediocre, or even terrible, particularly in comparison to other titles in the genre. Some players appreciate the visual appeal in certain aspects, like bridge collapses, but overall, the graphics are often criticized for poor optimization and a clunky user interface that detracts from the experience. While a few users find the graphics acceptable for a bridge-building game, the consensus leans towards disappointment in their execution and performance.
- “This seems interesting at a glance at a stable properly designed bridge building game with beautiful graphics and a proper physics system designed to allow the player to overcome the grand obstacle of building a bridge and will allow you to create a masterpiece over the river, canal, or canyon of your choice.”
- “Bridge project brings in some nice graphics and fairly interesting scenery.”
- “It's graphically very pretty, but just not a well-executed game.”
- “The graphics are terrible and I highly doubt that the recommended PC specifications are completely correct.”
- “The visuals and overlay are terribly designed and make Windows XP scheme look good.”
- “The graphics are lame at best compared to other games of its time.”

The gameplay of the game has received largely negative feedback, with users citing frustrating mechanics, poor component choices, and numerous glitches that detract from the experience. Many players found the core mechanics confusing and difficult to master, leading to a lack of enjoyment, while others noted that the gameplay feels outdated compared to other titles. Overall, the game struggles to deliver a satisfying bridge-building experience, with many players preferring alternatives that offer better gameplay and mechanics.
- “While the core mechanics remain the same as the simple 2D vector game from 15 years ago, there's a lot to be said for continuing the core mechanic but making the extra materials and 3D editing relatively easy.”
- “I have a background in mechanical engineering, so this game has quite an appeal for me.”
- “Simple concept, compelling gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is incredibly frustrating and not easy to use.”
- “I gave up trying to understand what a piston does (I am not a mechanical or civil engineer) and quit the game.”
- “For a bridge simulator, it has poor choices of mechanical components in the game.”

The game's stability is widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, glitches, and a clunky interface that significantly detracts from the overall experience. Many players experience freezing issues, particularly on higher-end PCs, and the physics engine is described as inconsistent, leading to frustrating gameplay. Overall, the game is deemed poorly polished, making it difficult to recommend despite some fun moments.
- “It does not work and freezes on start.”
- “It's fun when it works as intended, but far too unpolished and buggy; deleting an element of your bridge is an exercise in frustration, the lack of fixed time-step in the engine makes the game behave wildly differently on different computers, no explanation about the materials, etc...”
- “You'll spend more time fighting this game's buggy physics or shoddy UI than actually building anything.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it annoying and dated, describing it as cheesy and reminiscent of elevator tunes. However, others appreciate the ambient tracks for their non-repetitive nature and relaxing qualities, indicating a divide in player experience regarding the soundtrack.

- “It's the music really.”
- “Relaxing music 10/10”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting significant performance issues even on capable hardware. Many users experience inconsistent frame rates and are forced to lower graphics settings to achieve playable performance, leading to frustration with the game's stability and functionality. Overall, the lack of optimization has left players disappointed, especially given the game's age.
- “With inconsistent performances, you never know if your bridge will really work.”
- “Bridges work randomly, without any logic, while the unoptimized game breaks your computer.”
- “After 7 years from launch, I expected this game to be a bit more optimized or physics fixed, but nope, put for sale and that's it.”
- “But this game has very serious performance optimization issues. Although my laptop can play games like Crysis 3, Metro 2033, and Metro Last Light with medium-high graphic settings at over 30 fps, I can barely play this game at 30 fps with the highest settings.”
- “The game looks nice for a bridge building title, but it seems it isn't optimized as well as other titles, forcing me to reduce graphics settings rather than leaving everything maxed.”

The game's story is minimal, with players primarily engaging in a straightforward bridge-building concept without a narrative context. While the missions can be completed quickly, the lack of a cohesive story leaves players feeling disconnected from their character and the overall experience.
- “So listen to this story.”
- “Although Bridge Project is a simple concept, there are multiple ways to complete each mission.”
- “I was dreading each mission where I could see suspension cables in the materials.”
- “No story to this, you are just some random idiot building bridges that can't support the weight of a feather.”
- “In simple construction mode, it's possible to beat every mission in a single sitting (if you can dedicate most of a day off to that sort of thing).”
