Yeah, the bridge is a little too wide; I would have liked to used narrower base
plates, but I didn't have any other sizes in gray.
The real Ben Franklin Bridge has 4 lanes of traffic each way, plus two sets of
train tracks, one on each edge. If a car is 2 studs, a lane could be 3 studs...
so 8 lanes * 3 = 24... plus another 4 for each set of rails = 32. Add in a
concrete divider down the middle (+2) and the walls (+2 on each side) and that's
an ideal width of 38 studs. The base plate is 48. So, not too bad.
Oh, err, that, and I had a ton of microscale cars sitting around. :D Maybe just
not enough!
