E-paw, I bought that magazine just the other day after Scubadude had mentioned the article.
Although the bridge has some similarities to mine, it is quite different too. The center section of the magazine bridge is a steel girder, with concrete sections on each end, whereas mine is all concrete. The magazine bridge has only two short bents and they are made of 24" diameter concrete pilings, whereas mine has 14" diameter steel pipes and some of them are over 35 feet tall.
Still, it is a great article with some interesting construction techniques... and some nifty scenery ideas, thanks for mentioning it, perhaps others will check it out too.
