It's meant to be 648mm long.. 100mm tall and 75 mm wide... And a weight of 75 grams... Your design is pretty good.. What sort of joints did you use for it? I'm stuck on deciding what joints to use.. Mine is a Warren truss bridge... My main aim is acheiving a good strength to weight ratio. My bridge weighs 52 grams I’m making a bridge for engineering class ..

I used Basswood. I used two types of glue, Weldbond mostly and a little Probond. Tessa, I did not use popsicle sticks on this bridge. I used Basswood.
