The Troitsky Bridge Building Competition is an annual event that takes place at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the spring. Participating teams of engineering students come from universities across Canada and the United States. They design and build model bridges out of popsicle sticks, toothpicks, white glue and dental floss.
The Hart Bridge is a continuous, cantilevered truss bridge with an unusual design that includes a suspended road deck on the 332-metre (1,088 ft) main span and a through truss deck on the adjacent approach spans. Some notable continuous truss bridges, with main span lengths.
The Braga Bridge is a continuous truss bridge. It was the fourth longest span of this type when it was completed in 1966. This list of continuous bridge spans ranks the world's continuous truss bridges in two listings: The first is ranked by the length of main span (the longest length of unsupported roadway) and the second by the total length of continuous truss spans.

A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss, a structure of connected elements, usually forming triangular units.The connected elements, typically straight, may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads.
The Morandi bridge in Italy’s port city of Genoa collapsed in August 2018 after heavy rainfall, killing 43 people.. When one of its main pylons fell mid-morning, it brought a section of road ...

A truss arch bridge combines the elements of the truss bridge and the arch bridge. The actual resolution of forces will depend upon the bridge' design . [ 1 ] If no horizontal thrusting forces are generated, this becomes an arch-shaped truss which is essentially a bent beam – see moon bridge for an example.
