6-15″ Span

Basic Warren Truss Popsicle Bridge (Short)

Basic Warren Truss Popsicle Stick Bridge (Short)

This popsicle stick bridge was made from 40, unmodified popsicle sticks. The bridge spanned 12 inches, was 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide. I used only Elmer’s white glue to build the bridge. It weighed 57.4 grams (0.13 pounds), and held 90 pounds. Its efficiency score was 712.
