Constraints
The bridge may cross the valley at any elevation from high-water level to 24 meters above.
To provide clearance for overhead power lines, the highest point on the bridge may not exceed an elevation 32.5 meters above the high-water level (8.5 meters above the top of the riverbanks).
The bridge substructure may consist of either standard abutments (simple supports) or arch abutments (arch supports)
If necessary, the bridge may also use one intermediate pier, located near the center of the valley
The bridge can have more than 50 joint and no more than 120 members.
Cost= <$500,000
Load = 225Kn
