Bridge building
(OP)
I am looking toward working my way up to owning my own road and bridge construction company. I am curious as to which degrees I first need to go for. (i.e. would Civil Engineering be my field, structural? which or what do I need to go for to build and design bridges)

I'm not sure you will ever be able to both design and build them as a contractor. Do you prefer engineering/design or construction? If construction, you don't necessarily need an engineering degree to own or manage a construction company. If design, then get a degree in structural engineering, go for the masters in business adminstration and then start up a bridge design firm. In the meantime, see if you can get a job with your state department of transportation where you can get experience with all of it.
