No, this is stated to be a rumor, with the actual reason being that it needed to be high enough for navy ships but not too steep for cars to drive over.

It is a curved bridge rising on the bridge.
The Bong bridge is curved so 46th avenue west in Duluth can meet up with Belknap St. in Superior. The old Arrowhead bridge which this bridge replaced in the 80s also met up with Belknap in Superior, but they didn't start at the same place in Duluth. Now, that's assuming you're talking about why the road curves around while you're on the bridge. If you mean why is the central span of the bridge curved, that's something completely different. The Bong bridge is a Tied-arch bridge. Which is a type of bridge that has minimal horizontal movement and can be built on tall piers in unstable soil so that could be why they chose that design.
One way to build a bridge is put a curved section between the sides of the gap to be spaned and put a flat deck along the top of the curved section for traffice to travel over. when the brige is being used the curved section is compressed by the weight of the traffic. Carbon fibres it the curved section long enough to run the length of the curved section will not only strengthen the bridge but also allow engineers to test is the bridge is still working properly by the percentage of carbon fibres still unbroken.
A dome is a rounded vault made of either curved segments or a shell of revolution. An arch is a curved symmetrical structure spanning an opening and supporting the weight of a bridge, roof or wall above it.
Arches are among the oldest forms of structural support. Unlike beam bridges, arch bridges are curved. The arch carries the weight outward along the curve to the supports on each end of the bridge, called abutments. The abutments carry the load and stop the bottom of the bridge from spreading out.
It's actually called a(n) Vault . A Vault is a curved ceiling if that's what you meant!.! YO WELCOME! YO NEED 2 START SAYIN' THANK YUR ! UGGGHHH KEEP IT REAL BOO
An arch bridge is a bridge with abutments at each end shaped as a curved arch. Arch bridges work by transferring the weight of the bridge and its loads partially into a horizontal thrust restrained by the abutments at either side. A viaduct (a long bridge) may be made from a series of arches, although other more economical structures are typically used today.
A bridge needs at least 2 sides that can hold the amount of wight it is designed for. It also needs any kind of flat or curved surface to walk, drive, etc. past. The last structure is support beams under the bridge to make sure it doesn't collapse.
There are many different styles of bridge. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an "arch bridge", which is one of the oldest styles of bridges. The arch shape gives it strength, and it was the one that the birdge's designer, Ralph Freeman, decided would be the most suitable for crossing Sydney Harbour.
The shape of a violin is imprtant, because it changed the way the sound resonates through the instrument, just like each little factor changes the sound and pitch of the violin Several other factors are important, such as the f holes, the type of wood used, the bridge, the action on the strings, and the way it is crafted.
