Estimated bridge costs

Estimated bridge costs

Estimated bridge costs

(OP)
I've had the most random project come across my desk. I need to determine cost per square foot of several bridge types. I don't have any information or experience with arches, suspension,or cable stayed bridges.

I looked up some signature bridges and found the cost, lengths, and widths for a few different types. However the cost is the overall total and not broken out so I can't determine it for the span of interest.

Does anyone have any good rules of thumb for the types I mentioned above? Obviously it varies region to region, but a good ballpark number would help.

RE: Estimated bridge costs

(OP)
Thanks for the reference. I always forget that one.
