That's pretty big... is the 5.15m measurement the span?  That is, is it
measured from inside the footings?

Hmmm. Difficult to tell, but at first glance it doesn't look like 5m between
the footings - they may have included the approaches as well. But it's still
pretty impressive.

No, I have been told the 5 meters are from foundation to foundation of the main
bow. I think the bridge is so far in the background, that it appears smaller as
it in fact is.

Also, what are the black "cables" made from- Technic parts?

Right, same as my bridge: classic technic beams....

It looks like all Lego - you can view some similar ones here

That has been my 4.10 meters attempt (very successful in fact. it could bear 5
kg in the middle of the bridge!

I have done some drawings yesterday for a 8.5 meters bridge.....
