I am going to uproot the bridge to replace and realign the bridge span with the inner loop versus the outer loop. Using 2 layers of 1/16" basswood was not a good idea: Sasha decided to be affectionate while I was working on the 180' module, and she put her paw though the main span.
The culvert span is made of 3/16" plywood, so it has plenty of strength.
As annoyingly sweet as that little girl can get, I am sure she pointed out a flaw in that bridge. If a 6lb. cat would cause severe damage to the bridge, I doubt that it would hold up to movement and operation.
Looks like a redesign is going to have to take place before the bridge is fixed....
