Building a bridge

[RobA]

I do not have the link handy at the moment but there is a website that has plans for all sizes of bridges built out of 2x4 or 2x6 trusses that you make yourself. Some pretty amazing spans.

Is this the one?

Yep, that's the one.

That is a nice looking bridge. If you don't mind my asking, about how much money is invested in the materials?

I have seen a couple of bridges made out of old semi flatbed trailer frames. Makes sense to me for wider and longer spans.

Here's a pic of my home-made tamper. Tractor Supply wanted $30.00. for a fancier one.

Here's some pics with the Kubota on the bridge. I'm starting to lay the pavers on the other side.

Nice bridge!

You really did a great job on it, and it sure looks strong

Starting the first row, and it's looking like rain. This is the first time i've laid pavers, and it seems to me the hardest part is getting the ground compacted and level, it's fairly easy after this. I just used 1/8" plywood spacers to get my grout lines and keep everything in line.

Another pic, dry-laying the 2nd row. It started raining while I was working.
