The wooden planked floor of the bridge hangs from a trapeze shaped truss. If you look for details you can see many old carpentry joints like the offset or motise and tenon joint. The saddleback roof with the wooden plank shield on the side was made from Silver Fir and served as protection for the entire construction. The supporting frame was made from other types of wood like Spruce. |
