Looking nice, pretty detailed.
Just a few things...
1) Some of your support beams look like they have been glued on to the bridge, maksure to add some kind of support so it would look more natural.
2) I dont know, it might be just me, but I think it would look better if the poles that are holding up the bridge (the ones in the middle) would actually be settled into water instead of the little island.

This is only constructive criticism, dont take it to hear, rather look at it as helpfull tips!

yeah i hear what ur saying , i was working from a picture , the original support beams(light coloured beams) are nailed and binded to the main support(dark coloured beams) not sure how else to do it.

You can try making a 3 sided tiny brush and pretend it was a nail....

Cool bridge

(would have been great for the mapping comp

).

Hope you manage to make a playable map out of it

?Great...! ?Looks great...! ?Awesomely Awesome...!

?Come on, people...! ?Of course some support beams and other stuff look crappy...! ?They're supposed to look that way...! The idea is:

... and I think Fixxxer got it perfectly...

?Fixxxer...! ?Go, run, finish that map now...! ?I wanna see it finished now...! (And, while you're at it, tell us more, give us some little details about that future "Bridge on the River Kwai" map... Until then, I'll be whistling the melody from the movie...)

That would go good in an HITP map.
