Would it really take 200 years for a single person to solo build a bridge like this?
Key factors to consider:
>the person doesn't age
>this is his full time job but he needs to hunt for food every day
>he is a master of his craft
>he has to cut trees and transport them to the construction site
>going from one way of the cliff to the other takes about a week walking

What factors? You shoot 2 strings over, pound down some anchors, and then use that to get larger ropes from the other side, and maybe you have to do that a few times in case the string isn't beefy enough to drag the real string.
Realistically, you only have to cross twice. Once the supports via ropes are done, its just a matter of manual labor.
Where planning and doing the correct steps only speed up the process.

The design makes me think he didn't really understand structural support so even more than 200 years.

bro just build a tall ramp thing on one side and drop it across. or just take a very long pole and drop a length of rope on the other side
then you have all the time in the world to build the bridge
takes like a week or month tops to set up, then it's just regular carpentry

Apparently it takes more than a couple centuries to even repair a bridge, so building one must take even longer.

I don't see how a single person could get the big logs on top by themselves
