Build a Bridge | Play Game# Build a Bridge - Play the Game Intro Screen Ready to give it a go? Think you know which type of bridge belongs where? Hints and Feedback For a beam bridge to span 1,200 feet, you'd need three or four supports. Suspension bridges typically span distances between 2,000 and 6,000 feet. A cable-stayed bridge needs at least one tower, if not two. Cable-stayed bridges typically span distances between 500 and 2,800 feet. Suspension bridges are the best bridges for spanning the longest distances and leaving plenty of room for a shipping channel. Arch bridges typically span distances between 200 and 800 feet. Final Screen Congratulations! As you were playing this game, you may have thought, "Gee, I wish I could combine some of these bridges—say, build a continuous-beam bridge across the bay, but put a cable-stayed bridge in the middle to create a shipping channel." A few words of caution. Websites The Clark Bridge, Alton Illinois A photo history of the bridge featured in the NOVA program Super Bridge.
