This is where our bridges appear
when they are completed.

SCROLL DOWN FOR ALL OF OUR FANTASTIC BRIDGES!
CAOIMHE’S BRIDGE – Arch Bridge Type



Really great job, Caoimhe!
You used the natural strength of the box and increased its strength by putting in two arches.
The photos show the process you undertook
to test its strength and
2kg is definitely twice as good as 1kg!!!
That phrase that says the proof of the pudding
is in the eating,
and in this case the proof of the bridge is in the flour!
GEARÓID’S BRIDGE – Arch Bridge Type
Thanks a million Gearóid for your amazing multi-arch Roman-style bridge!!!
A great aquaduct in case we run out of water in Ireland!
I like the authentic rock foundations which are a little like Ronda’s famous brige in Spain.
While I have time during the Easter Holidays, here’s a photo of that bridge.

KIKI’S BRIDGE – Truss Bridge Type

Another great job using the minimal lollipop sticks that really tests your bridge building designs! Well done, Kiki!
Great photo displaying your bridge’s strength! Well done again!
CHARLIE’S BRIDGE – Suspension Bridge Type
Great job with all of the string and you used materials that really depended
on the design actually working.
Your bridge is the only portable type
which can roll to a new location when required!!
*********************************************
BEN’S BRIDGE – Cable-Stayed Bridge Type


Congrats ben on another great design and construction!
Th esunset shot is really cool and you went all out with the roading markings!
Now all you need to do is take another shot with a kilo bag weight to prove how strong your bridge really is!
**************************************
JARLATH’S BRIDGE – Cable-Stayed Bridge Type

Yes, it’s following the great design of The Rose Kennedy Bridge.
Your earlier design drawings
that you emailed and the final construction are really excellent!
Well done, Jarlath!
***************************************
SÍOFRA’S BRIDGE – Truss Bridge Type

Great job, Síofra.
It’s all about design and using lollipop sticks means if the design were poor
there’s no chance of it supporting the kilo weight!
Great construction! BAM would be proud of you and add you to the payroll!
***********************************************************
LEXI’S BRIDGE – Cable-Stayed Bridge Type
Great cable-stayed bridge, Lexi.
Who needs a 1 kilo bag of sugar when
you have a helper!
*****************************************************************
LIAM’S BRIDGE – Beam and Cable-Stayed Bridge Type

Wow, what a beautifully designed and produced bridge, Liam.
You’ve really pulled out all of the stops
including a double cable-stayed layout,
including an ambulance for the times that we now live in!
*******************************************************
JAMES’ BRIDGE – Truss Bridge Type
You used the power of the triangle to perfectly build this one, James!
It’s beautifully shiny and new, with its paintwork sticking to a grey/black theme!
Bridge Number 10 : Aoife’s’ – Truss and Beam Bridge Type



Well done, Aoife.
A great design with a lovely red and black look!
I notice you’re following the rules of the road
with your white line in the middle of the bridge!
It definitely could hold a couple of bags of sugar.
No problem!
****************************************
ALAN’S BRIDGE – Beam Bridge Type
Thanks to Alan for reminding me that I had neglected to post his!
I hope you like the agri background effects!
Yes, it has passed the kilo test with some little helpers!
******************************
KATIE’S BRIDGE – Truss Bridge Type
Another great bridge, Katie! Great use of wood for strength and support,
with some really good woodwork skills on show!
Where did you get the pasta? I thought the supermarkets were completely
out of stock!
SPENCER’S BRIDGE – Suspension Bridge Type


Great job of re-creating The Golden Gate Bridge!
Love the illuminations and looks like it could take a little more than a kilo?
Hopefully brother A.J.’s previous experience wasn’t needed?
Yes, the face has to be pixelated, Spencer!
*********************************************
LAUREN’S BRIDGE – Truss Bridge Type



Love the paint job and the lollipop sticks, especially doubling them up and standing them on their sides. I see you gave us a close-up of the Basmati rice bag coming in at 1 kilo as evidence!
************************************************************
HARRY’S BRIDGE – Beam Bridge Type
Great job, Harry. I had to pixelate your face so that I could put your name above the photos.
Can’t identify you! The second photo looks as though you’re on a skateboard.
It’s so strong but where’s the kilo bag of sugar?!
*******************************************
SCOTT’S BRIDGE – Truss Bridge Type


The Stranger Things Bridge! I love it!
*************************************************
ABBIE’S BRIDGE – Beam Bridge Type

Yes, the lights are cat’s eyes!
