Deck truss bridge

Is there a bridge of this type in-game? I experimented with inverting and re proportioning a through-truss but would rather not do that.

This isn't exactly what you have pictured however it's there on the Peace River Route.

I have a pretty good selection of routes installed,but no bridge of the kind I need. Thanks for the suggestion. Looking for one a bit closer to the pictured design,though.

Have you looked in John Lippai's NS New River Districts?

I have been around since the early days,and do have those assets installed. There are some very good bridge pieces. However no deck,or under hung trusses,as some refer to them. It is his truss bridge that I have inverted and resized. It also seems there are no large stone piers,as depicted in the picture. FYI the bridge I am building is the B&O bridge across the Ohio at Parkersburg.

Michael at Golden age of Rails has some pretty nice Abutments in his girder bridge set.

Hi RAILSOHIO,
Take a look at the recent screenshot of the under-truss bridge in this post

It could be what you are looking for.

That style bridge and the Peace River bridge Buzz suggested look close at first. But they are continuously joined at the bottom. The truss I am looking for are separate sections. The bridge I need to replicate is curved. Thanks for your effort in looking.

I actually made that using a bunch of bridge assets in the John Lippai New River Districts trestle pack. You might be able to cobble the bridge together if you wanted to give it a shot, might be your best bet.
