I hate to sound a little ignorant, but someone was also doing a bridge and found out it was in a wetland and quit. I’m assuming it was a similar situation as yours but not you?
That was another thread.
I poked around in there a bit

Railings done

Just adding the railings I can feel the bounce reduced already.
Working on angles to tie the top and bottom together

I thought yours was a different thread but it is similar. It’s looking pretty good to me.
Where about in Central Illinois are you if I can ask?

I’m down the street from Forbes State Park

The wind was a bit brisk today…….
Took about an hour break for lunch.

I don’t have enough angle iron to make the angle braces.

I might putter in the barn a bit working on my extra pieces to put in between the 3x3 tubes.

Till tomorrow!

I’d rather live in your area, further from Chicago and milder winters. I went to school in Carbondale and so did my daughter.

South of Effingham the topography/scenery really changes.

For some reason, your bridge makes me think of covered bridges in New England.
