After viewing many of Howe Truss Bridges you guy built and displayed on the forum I have come up with my own. I constructed it out of Oak and only on day one but it is coming along.
 
 
 
 
More to follow tomorrow.

Looking good! Are you going to add some compression rods or cross bracing on top for stability?

Day 2 and all done. Just need to do finishing touches
 
 
I do not plan on putting in  compression rods but I will be adding spikes and distressing it a bit.
