This popsicle stick bridge was made from 40, unmodified popsicle sticks. The bridge spanned 12 inches, was 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide. I used only Elmer’s white glue to build the bridge. It weighed 57.4 grams (0.13 pounds), and held 90 pounds. Its efficiency score was 712.
This was the first popsicle stick bridge I had ever made, and it turned out to be quite a success. The goal behind this bridge was to design not only a strong bridge, but design a process for building the bridge that could easily be replicated by almost anyone. That is why I didn’t cut any of the popsicle sticks. That alone would add a lot of complexity to the construction of the popsicle bridge.I made the bridge to easily span 12 inches, which seems to be a common requirement in popsicle stick bridge competitions.

hey there! i am a student doing a bridge project..and i find this website very very helpful. thank you!
this was a website my teacher recommended..!
I got in this website because the teacher told me so I could learn more of how to make a bridge out of wood and so it can not be destroid when i was in technology
I am trying this bridge for a project. it has to hold atleast 50 textbook’s. Hope it can. I will let you know what happens.
one thing flip it over and add extensions for the bottom to be the road. we did this with a 36 cm bridge and it held 113 lbs so its a good design
thanks for posting these bridges really helpful
