I'd love to sit down and create a full-blown "Guide to Lego Bridges", but in
the meantime, I hope these links will do:
Reinhard "Ben" Beneke's Bridge Constructions:

Wayne R. Hussey (the big ZNAP bridge):
Wayne's post with descriptions: http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=6992

Ross "RoscoHead", "ROSCO" Crawford:
Double-arch suspension bridge: http://www.lugnet.com/~469/projects/archbr

MISC bridges from a train layout:

And finally, my own humble attempts at bridge building:
