My Son, took yourr pictures off this website and from your picture built the bridge but made several improvements. He added more upright popicle sticks to the side and did not cut any popsice sticks and allowed them to extended out. He layered another truss on the outside and beefed up the top with three layers going in three different directions. The bridge was exactly 150 sticks. They started testing it with 50 lbs weights and went up. THey ran out of weights in the gym to test it, so a gentlemen in the crowd jumped up on top (his weight....240 lbs)....the bridge still didn';t break. After 635 lbs and no more weight to add....the teacher gave my son an A plus. Great design. Thanks. Hello

Thank you! Hey…

Could you maybe e-mail me some strong bridge plans. Thanks.
