The Double Cantilever Bridge model is already in Rome, but we want to continue the story of its restoration. For previous reports on this restoration see postings from 8/19 and 8/26. This model was originally cast by Paolo Soleri at Cosanti in the 1960's. Planning and Construction Intern Kim Young Soo files details on a restored part of the bridge.
