A five-year old record fell this year as Paolo Amoruso's high-road A-frame structure
supported an astounding 159.7 kg (351 lbs!). Competition was intense, with several teams passing the 100 kg mark. Paolo's bridge will renew speculation about what constitutes the best bridge design. The 1/2/3 breaks were placed at 75.5 and 39.0 kg strengths.
