The design is different, but at our latest GETS show, NALUG’s Laszlo
Szojka showed a 17-foot bridge using a similar cable technique:

Chris-
I meant to get back to this message sooner, but I was hip deep in our weekend
show at Fullerton. I love this NALUG bridge. If immitation is the sincerest form
of flattery, consider that design in the queue to have its double deck
construction copied!
Meanwhile, back to the “my dog’s better than yours”: Last time we stayed at
Hotel LEGOLAND, we would head down to the LEGO room each night when most guests
had gone to bed and build somethimg BIG. One item was, if I recall right, an 18
foot long flat deck bridge completely supported from below by two towers. Our
criteria for doing great was to make something so awesome that the hotel staff
would not take it apart during the daily cleanup. Of course, the first round of
little kinders in the morning that arrived without parents would have things in
megapieces in seconds.
