Description
The client has an American South west theme for his project. This project has about 30 bridges in two different scales. The Diablo Canyon Bridge is an interesting and attractive choice for a unique look.
Construction
The original bridge is a single track bridge with a covered and ballasted track deck. This project was completely designed from photographs only. The modifications include aesthetic changes to the aspect ratio to fit the available depth and a second parallel track was added necessitating the width being increased. The entire project was printed in resin with steel rod integrated into the top beams for increased weight tolerance.
