The Steel Bridge team, whose members were enkindled for this year’s competition, expects to perform much better than last year, said team member Christopher Bolich.The competition is categorized and evaluated in 3 parts; how much a bridge sags when encumbered with 250 pounds; how much it bends when folded; and its build-time being only able to carry one piece at a time.“Already our (Steel Bridge) weight is down from last year,” Bolich, “and building time is around what it was last year.“The bridge gets taken apart every day, and we had built that this morning,” Bolich pointed across the banquet hall and behind a glass, where a miniature steel bridge lay.
