A student named Michael, from a high school engineering class, famously built a bridge out of toothpicks that successfully held his teacher. This project showcased his creativity and understanding of engineering principles, as he designed the structure to be both strong and lightweight. The bridge not only impressed his classmates but also demonstrated the potential of simple materials in engineering applications.
The basic principle of a cantilever bridge is that the bridge is supported entirely at one end, the rest being held in place by steel pillars or beams.
There have been several London Bridges over the centuries. The present bridge was built in 1973. It's predecessor, built in 1820, was disamantled to make way for the present bridge, The 1820 bridge was re-assembled at Lake Havasu City in Arizona and is open to the public as a tourist attraction. It is a widely held belief that the buyers of London Bridge thought that they were buying Tower Bridge, but the buyers and the sellers have both denied this.
