Experimenting with suspension bridges.

5th Dec 2023

Today we completed our 6th and final challenge in the Bridge to France project!

Our focus was to experiment the strength of a suspension bridge such as the impressive Millau Viaduct in Southern France! 

Once again, working in teams we created a structure and put our learning to the test! We were amazed to find out that our suspension bridge structure could actually hold more weight than a beam bridge structure despite using the majority of the same materials!
