There are a number of big bridges out there. Rob Hendrix did a lifting one:



Tony Priestman is working on a very large viaduct:



and I remember Ben Beneke and ROSCO having some good stuff too.

However I think something like a cloverleaf junction would be very brick intensive and not as interesting as something with more ‘form’, like a bridge.

I’m very interested in this stuff (being a Civil Engineer myself) but have never had the time or bricks to get started on the number one project on my list - the Newport Transporter Bridge.

Actually you’ve set me thinking - I might try and do something like the Spinnaker Tower
