So the single span itself isn't quite 5.15 m, it's "only" 4 m - still a VERY
impressive piece of LEGO engineering!!

It is in fact 5.15, wich can be recognised if you count the monorail track
pieces: there are 20 sections of monorail: each is 32 studs long. Makes 640
studs total length which is 5.12 meters.

Well, just being picky, but it looks to me like there's only about 19 monorail
sections *between* the footings, but whats 32 studs between friends? 8?)

You are right: there are "only" 19 full sections on the bridge, but of course
there are two times 50% of a section too (easily to see on the left and since
the bridge is symmetric it has to be on the right too).

(...) To the *centre* of the footings, yes. But not *between* the footings. I'm not actually sure where the span of various bridges is measured, but I thought in such a bridge it would be the distance between nearest extremities of the footings. (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)
