Creek Vehicle Bridge

I designed a 40-foot steel bridge weighing around 14k pounds, capable of handling up to 15k pounds of cargo. The beams underneath the ramp were welded directly to the flanges beneath the bridge, incorporating hidden scab plates that aren't actually needed. The bridge was intended to span a creek and carry vehicles safely across. However, there are some minor issues with the assembly process due to less-than-ideal bracing locations, which I'd rather address on-site. Repeatedly reassembling it in the shop kept breaking my equipment, so it's better to fix any problems as we go along.
