The base of the bridge is cut from 1/2" plywood. The radius is for 0-72 Fast Track.
Each side is cut from 1/4" plywood and screwed to the base.
OOPS !... Make that 6 pieces of wood. I forgot that I had to add a 1/4" x 1/4" strip at the top of each side to hold the top section.
The top section is also cut from 1/4" plywood.

This old bridge has finally found its home. 
She's connecting the top sections of my double helix.
I cut the supports out of a 2 X 6 and the base plates out of 2 X 4's. I cut shallow cuts with a hand saw to look like mortor joints then sprayed them with the Fleck stone paint.
