Construction
 
   The construction of the bridge began with two toothpicks. These two pieces of wood were glue together on their sides to create a double toothpick (fig 1). This process was repeated many times and the double toothpicks were allowed to dry. The next step (at this stage in the construction process) is to add a third toothpick to the pair creating a triple toothpick (fig 2). This process again having been repeated many times, two triple toothpicks were then glued together on their sides (fig 3) creating the 6-toothpick basis of the thick corner support beams (Fig. 4).

   Once all the small pieces are ready, they are stuck together (end to end) to form the beams (not only the end beams) of the bridge. The end beams, as was stated before, were made up of the 6-toothpick pieces, while the other major beams were made by sticking the 2-toothpick pieces together (Fig 5).

   All these beams combined with regular toothpicks and toothpicks that were cut in half, were arranged in the design detailed below to form the bridge. All of the work at this point was done with hot glue.

   Notice the hint of the sierpinski triangle in the diagram of the side of the bridge. That shape was chosed for its triangular nature but also for its support of the centers of the beams.
