The Lapis Bridge is a 1:1 ratio of the Lupu Bridge in Shanghai, China. It main span is 550 meters/blocks with the two side spans at 100m each totaling 750 m in all. The span is 100 m above water level with inward leaning arches (5 degrees to be specific). This was completely built in survivor mode (gamemode 0) and without MCEdit. This took a couple of months to plan, acquire materials, and build. I focused on portraying the bridge as accurately as possible with the limited amount of information the Chinese let out.

I used this website as my main schematics. It didn't have the complete details so I did have to use some guesswork.
  
The original Lupu Bridge also had some side towers that were a bit dull so I got rid of those and used a curved design instead (last image). Inside houses basic stone stairs that lead up to the main span. The width of the deck will be used for a rail system (we have railcraft) and hopefully this system will link the rest of the communities in the server.
