The exhibition includes information about the recently completed works on Victoria Bridge and the planned restoration of the Destructor Bridge. There is also an interactive exhibition including information about local and national bridges which encourages visitors to build their own model bridges using a variety of engineering structures.
There are three build-your-own bridge kits designed and produced by Bristol-based model makers Amalgam, that demonstrate how the components of arch, truss and cable structures can be assembled to produce six different bridge designs. In addition, the family activity area will encourage young and old to design their own bridge in a Top Trump style for entry into a competition to find the potential bridge builders of the future. The final set of Top Trump images will be exhibited during April with a chance to vote on your favourites.
