Easy to model mega bridge prototype

I was on my way to Ohio, I passed over the Monongahela River (Speers PA on I-70)

It might not look that impressive, but trust me, it is impressive when you see it up close.

I then realized this bridge is just a series of these new bridges from Walthers (Pratt) Some are just butted together bottom to bottom.

The new family of Walthers bridges would make a project like this doable. All that is needed is the room to support even a compressed version of the scene.

That is a spectacular bridge though. Drove past it any number of times on I 70.
