Hi Wayne!
Nice bridge... I'd love to see some more detail of how you integrated
the ZNAP into the spans - I assume you used it for deck stiffening and
for the towers? How did the flexibility and spinginess of the ZNAP
imapct the engineering?
I was also wondering about the supports under the bridge deck shown in
this picture:

It looks like you're holding the deck up with monorail towers. Is this
a preventative measure in case little kiddies come running through, or
did you have oscillation problems when running trains over the bridge at
speed?
Thanks,
Jeff Elliott
