Greetings.
This is a scale model of the Maumee River Crossing bridge, a cable-stayed
bridge currently under construction in Toledo, Ohio, USA.
In this picture it is only 70 percent complete (14 of 20 cables), and measures
9.5 feet long (2.9 meters). When completed, it will be 13.5 feet long (4.1
meters). The main pylon will reach 4.5 feet high (1.4 meters). The roadbed is
52 studs wide, and ranges from 0.3 bricks thick (a plate) to 3.7 bricks thick
(three bricks and two plates). All pieces are LEGO(r) except for the cables,
which are nylon string.
There are 11,110 parts in the main span, and probably another 500 or so in the
main pylon.
This bridge is part of my educational LEGO(r) work. More info on that is at my
Web site, http://www.BricksForBrains.com
Enjoy!
