The bridge can be constructed by hand but the components are extremely heavy. Like the Medium Girder Over Bridge it is used to reinforce current bridges to allow heavier traffic also like the Medium Girder Over Bridge it can also be used as a bridge on its own but it does require extensive foundations.

Underslung (lower-beam) launching gantry used for Skyline guideway construction (2015). A launching gantry (also called bridge building crane, and bridge-building machine) is a special-purpose mobile gantry crane used in bridge construction, specifically segmental bridges that use precast box girder bridge segments or precast girders in highway and high-speed rail bridge construction projects.
The stubs at the eastern end of the Dunn Memorial Bridge give a good cross section of girder bridge construction. A rolled steel girder is a girder that has been fabricated by rolling a blank cylinder of steel through a series of dies to create the desired shape. These create standardized I-beam and wide flange beam [7] shapes up to 100 feet in ...

A concrete curved-chord through girder bridge, sometimes known as a camelback bridge, [2] [i] is a type of concrete bridge most common in the U.S. state of Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario. [1] C.V. Dewart, the first professional bridge engineer of the Michigan State Highway Department, designed the type. [3]
A movable scaffolding system (MSS) is a special-purpose self-launching form used in bridge construction, specifically prestressed concrete bridges with segments or spans that are cast in place. The movable scaffolding system is used to support a form while the concrete is cured; once the segment is complete, the scaffold and forms are moved to ...
A Vierendeel bridge is a bridge employing a Vierendeel truss, named after Arthur Vierendeel, a Belgian engineer who proposed this new bridge girder-type without diagonals in 1896. [ 1 ] Such trusses are made up of rectangular rather than triangular frames, as are common in bridges using pin–joints .
The narrow section at mid-span gives the bridge profile a slight arch shape making this design particularly useful when large headroom is required. The profile also makes the bridge more architecturally pleasing than a beam bridge. Rigid-frame design may be the most efficient bridge type for spans between 35 and 80 feet (11 and 24 m). [5]
