    The Anderson Bridge is a three-span steel deck truss bridge using the Wichert truss design developed and patented by Edward Martin Wichert (1883–1955). [11] This design behaves like a continuous truss in that the live load of vehicles is distributed across all three spans. Therefore less material is required than a simple truss where each ...
