Use a lot of sticks.
Depends on the design of the bridge, and how the sticks are joined. In theory I could build a bridge of popsicle sticks that would support several tons of weight- but it would take a LOT of popsicle sticks.
Well it depends on the load(weight) of the object that is gunna go down on it or transverse on it. It also depends if the Popsicle is side ways or on the flat side, which is weaker that on the small side point

The number of pennies a bridge made of 15 popsicle sticks can hold depends on various factors, including the design of the bridge, the quality of the popsicle sticks, and the distribution of weight. Generally, a well-constructed popsicle stick bridge can hold anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand pennies. However, precise testing would be needed to determine the exact capacity for a specific bridge design.
A truss bridge has the best weight to strength ratio.The triangulation of the popsicle sticks strengthens the whole bridge

To create a simple and small model of the Brooklyn Bridge, start by gathering materials like popsicle sticks, string, and glue. Construct the main towers using popsicle sticks, then connect them with a horizontal beam. For the suspension cables, use string to mimic the bridge's iconic cables, attaching them from the towers to the roadway. Finally, add a simple platform using cardboard or additional popsicle sticks to represent the bridge deck.

Dental drill-bits called 'burs' are used to cut through the bridge. Cutting the bridge into pieces helps.
