In the above images you can see that I was able to keep the cost under $200,000 by making an arch bridge. I used both carbon steel and quenched & tempered steel in my bridge. In the process of making my bridge I used the formula learned in our previous project in order to make a stable bridge design. After many attempts, I tried to use the templates given, but they were too expensive. I saw that using triangles and diamonds worked best, and at some points I couldn't even test my bridge because of rectanglular sections. In the end, I found that the most effective design was the arch bridge and the least effective was built in a square shape with few triangles.
