We put in a telephone pole bridge back in 76 and that thing is still standing. 2 poles covered with 2x4's. Spans about 20' LOVE this idea!

remember the weight issue
its not for pedestrian traffic With my solution there’ll be no bridge, so there’ll be no weight issue concerns. simple is smart

You want to keep the load supported about 5 or 6 feet back away from the edge of the drop off. Otherwise the weight of your vehicle will cause the edges to collapse, and your bridge will eventually fall into the creek. Longer is better than shorter, and keep it arched.

I guess a culvert tube is out??? This is what I do. Culvert then a 400 dollar load of iron ore dumped on top. Smooth it out with tractor bucket. Half a day of work.

Dukes of Hazzard style launch ramp would be the best way to do this
I’m going with this one. Lot easier, and more fun to super charge the SS and the tractor than do all that work. Granted the tractor is gonna be 50/50 that you can get her to “fly.”

Couple of I beams with planks across them.
Yeah, that is an idea. I would need to find some I beam. Maybe the metal building people can get me some.

Instead of the telephone poles, I could use railroad ties. I would only need 2 or 3. Only saying this because I have no idea where to get a telephone pole. ?

Step one: round up about thirty beavers
Step two: lay down plenty of wood

Slope the banks down and spread some rock in the bottom of the creek. Hmmm... this is indeed a clever idea.

Is this bridge over troubled water? It is quite troubling for sure.

Buy a used flatbed trailer and drag it across the span. Drop the axles off the trailer. (?)
