Heres a link to how I did it for Annieshalt. Good luck.
The purist will say that the arches should be straight but hey!

Horizontally curved masonry and concrete viaducts are fine when you have a good footing for the arches - plenty of prototypes for that. You have to avoid any significant overhang that will apply a twist to the deck when loaded. You can see an example of a 90° curved metal bridge at http://gnomengineers.com/ under 'Cu...that appear from time to time.

Just about to post a thread when I found this.
I need to make a short 2 foot bridge with a slight r3 curve to it. I have an elevated section on decking plank that needs a spur coming off it which will join up to a raised border. (hope that makes sense) I thought a deck girder or trestle/truss would do. I can see from above that in the real world they are built in short straight sections.
Does anyone have any nice photos that can help me build this?
I cant get a picture of it in my head of how it should look.
