The gap comes after the article "The" and before "of the new bridge", so a noun naming the action is needed. The suffix -ing added to "build" gives "building" (the process of constructing). "builder" means a person who builds, so it does not fit the meaning. "builds" is a verb form, and "rebuild" is a verb with the prefix re-. Only "building" is correct.
