I got done posting the curved bridge(s) on Brickshelf not too long ago,
check out http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2572  to catch a
look.  This time all the images fall within a reasonable viewing range of
512x384.  There was one overhead I would like to have put up but I'll try
later.  I should note the design up now are of a second generation and I
will be posting the first gen in the same file.

Ok, you're asking, how did I build it?  Well I had to get out the paper and
drafting equipment for this one.  It took some time to get everything to fit
just right and I admit to doing some squeezing to get everything to fit but
it works!  One element I found very useful are the plate hinges that some
sets like the 8880 supercar or 8480 space shuttle come loaded with.  I
should note a 90 degree arc requires 20 of them.  You could use the block
type as a substitute in some areas but I haven't tried it, yet!

Yea, yea, I know I put some shots of the straight bridge in there, but the
two have to connect at some point.
