Here is my bridge a friend (Real Archaic) and I built together.
It was inspired by the Hellgate Bridge in NYC (see pics of actual bridge below)

We started off using glowstones for the bridge support beams, and created the arch using iron blocks, for the diamond X shapes that cover the bridge, we covered the entire bridge with Iron Blocks then used cookie cutter method to create the shapes, then we lined the iron block diamond shape X's with netherrack and lit it up and replaced the glowstone with lava to give it that true "Hellgate" feel.

Hope ya like!


Anyway here is what we built, and some pictures to show the progression long the way.

City and Bridge at Night

Nice and EPIC!

Very nice.

Amazing! i was happy enough seeing the bridge then i saw the last picture with the buildings. Great work having put in all those hours shows.

Suggestion: Minecart track.

thanks everyone for the kind replies,
I am sorry but I should have also added, cause I dont like to take false credit but yes we did dupe the materials.
Yes we do have a mine cart track and the ride at night is my favorite thing to do. We have plans next for a large project train station, our map has a few other cities we would like to make transit from our capital "SYN CITY" to. so I'll be looking for inspiration on these forums, and cant wait for the pistons to use!!

Thanks again, and glad to see ya all liking it!

I didn't see the minecart track in any of the pictures, but I'm glad to hear that one has been added... I can't imagine you'd want to walk across it after building so much. Haha.

Love the last 3 pics. The sun setting in front is great.

I thought the first pic was it. Almost **** myself.
