Tenochtitlan had causeways and bridges because it was built upon a lake. If it did not have causeways and bridges, the people would not be able to reach or leave the city. Not only that, but the bridges and causeways also helped them keep enemies out because bridges could be raised (or destroyed) and the causeways were narrow, preventing masses of soldiers to move into the city at a time.
