The Bridge-in-a-Backpack™ has previously been demonstrated with short spans. The first ; constructed one, Neal Bridge in Pittsfield, Maine had a span of 34 feet. This task includes ; research and development that demonstrates the technology can be used safely with spans up to ; 70 feet. This required investigations into capacity of the bridge during construction, ; improvements to the manufacturing process such that larger diameter tubes can be produced, and ; verification of structural models for larger diameter tubes.
