That bridge looks like somebody went to the hobby shop, gathered up what plastic bridge parts they could find, and then built a bridge. "What? You don't have more than two of the same kind? Oh well, give me what you do have..." :)

Wow! Very interesting...I'm guessing each section was used in another location earlier in its life and then brought together to form a (budget-pleasing) patchwork-type bridge? Nice picture!
