I had to put 2 more cross-braces in...I had everything set-up for 18' 4x4's, nobody sells 18' 4x4's around here, had to use 16', so I put two more 6" i-beams in. I drilled 64 holes in the cross-braces to bolt the 4x4's to. What a job!!!

You have really done a great job!

It sure will be a sturdy bridge when finished.

Keep posting.

I got the some of the wood-runners in, the heat here is nasty...90+..not my favorite working conditions. I put the Kubota through her paces pulling out small tree-stumps. I used the steal wheel method...worked great (wish i'd taken pics). This was a way bigger project than i thought. Its finally looking like a bridge though. Kinda got rained-out today, and i needed a small siesta. Here's a few pics of the progress.

Awesome job!

I think you'll be able to tow the Queen Mary across that bridge...

Nice work!

Why did you decide to use circular piers on oneside, and the square on the other? I also love that you have a lawn chair on each side with a beer can... Just so you have a good resting place close by? ;-)

How wide will the finished bridge be when finished? Looks too narrow for a tractor from the photos?
