The columns could be taller if you wanted to make the arches more shallow.

P.S. It still looks better than any arched bridge that I have tried to make.

Dan,

It is a nice bridge, but (sorry I had to add a but) it seems that the
arches are too pointy. It almost looks like the arches are gothic arches.
I am more used to seeing arches that are either romanesque or flatter
than romanesque (like the simple looking bridges that cross the Seine in
Paris).

Well, the limitations of the baseplate size, and the required height pretty
much dictated the arches.

Thanks! :)
