Don't forget Gianluca's bridge. I do not have the knowledge to categorize it
with any authority, but it looks like and arch that is getting a little bit of
help from a trussed deck. It too is a very nice bridge.
The really neat thing about Arne's Hell's Gate bridge is that there is no truss
under the deck. In his model, the 4.5v rails along the side help stiffen the
deck which probably takes a bit of the load off of the arch.
