If you have ever wondered exactly how important all the cables on a suspension bridge are, this game will answer all your questions, and hopefully provide some fun as well.

The idea of Bridge Construction Set is to build a bridge that can not only support its own weight but that of cars and trains, all within a fixed budget. There are several different types of bridge and material that can be used.

Once the design has been finalised, the bridge is tested in two ways: to make sure that it does not fall down and then to see how it fare with traffic. It is possible to show the stress lines on the bridge, which is an essential tool for working out where weaknesses are.

The full version has forty levels including suspension bridges and drawbridges, fifteen different vehicles to test the bridge and a level editor to create your own scenarios.
