Thats unreal, I watched a Mega Structures about the construction of that bridge, it is amazing what our engineers can design now.

Also in looking for information I found these videos on Living Bridges.

They are so cool. I do not think it will help your research, but thought you might like the link.

Thanks for the link Rob. Its a very cool idea, using live tree roots as structure. I cant imagine a scenario in North America where people would be willing to wait 3 generations for a bridge.
