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!

So you’re the genious who made it! Very nice! I’ve was looking at the pics you
have up on BrickShelf a
few days ago and been wondering about it.
Gotta few q’s-
About the roadway: will it be tiles or schleim’ed?
Will you be posting more pics of the deck construction? A closer view of the
ends would be nice.
Thanks,
Adr.

| (...) Thank you for the kind words. I started pricing tiles for the roadway, and it looked like it was getting into several hunderd dollars, so I shelved that idea. You'll have to fill me in on what "schleim’ed" means! I dind't get any other pics, (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
