March 2013 (38.39299 Degrees, -120.80045 Degrees) Sutter Creek Footbridge |
Anne's bridge has a high camber, so it must be supported on strong foundations to resist the longitudinal force of the bowed superstructure. It has a grated steel deck to allow for drainage. The steel looks brown and is probably a type of Corten (weathering) steel.
These bridges look like they would be easy to fabricate in a factory or at the bridge site. A crane could pick up the bridge and set it on a pair of well supported abutments.
