I have been working on this bridge for a few months now. it is based on
T.J.'s design on his web sight. Thanks for sharing your secrets T.J.! The
arch is rather weak till you connect the deck. the deck and cable stays
really tie everything together. this is an amazingly strong bridge. It
stood all weekend with out any problems. it even with stood 10 foot trains
passing each other on the deck. it was really cool watching it flex when
loads were passing over it.
pictures of the building process can be seen here:

pictures of the bridge in the GPLR GATS show can be seen

you will have to poke around the different albums to find the bridge picks.
