it right!  A curved bride structure that uses NO Technic like my past

I read this and thought, "Well, I suppose if you have to have a bride,
a curved one's a good idea, but what's it doing on Brickshelf..."

Seriously, though, how is the track attached? Is it just attached on the
straight parts and lays flat on the curves?

Well, I'll admit, I "cheated".  The areas of straight track are lying down
on the same plane but the curved is slightly elevated.  I had to note where
on the bridging the curved track would fall upon particluar studs or between
them.  Then using 1x1 round plates, I set the curved track on them.  To make
it a little easier, I alligned the 1x1's with the rail segments (no tubes,
just partition lines to watch for) of the tracks than the tie segments.

I'd like to see a close-up
shot of that...

I take some shots ASAP (weather permitting).

(...) You could probably elevate the straight sections on plates, then put tiles under the curved section to get it all on the same level. ROSCO (23 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
