Thanks, everyone, for showing me some of the bridges you've made. Here
are some photos of what I finally came up with:
http://www.enchanter.net/lj/bridge/
It uses nearly all the black and green Znap that I have. It sags a
little when a train's going over it, but I ran the heaviest trains I
could find and nothing gave way under stress. :)

Looks great.
As far as the "sagging" goes, use more diagonals in the boxes under the
arches. That should help it.

That's a neat bridge Brian!
With regard to sag, I wouldn't worry - you'd be surprised how much real
bridges deflect under load!
