We've build our bridge and have put some weight on the ends to see how much weight is needed to move the bridge. We've come to believe that it takes ~5 pounds to move the ramp from its up position to its down position, and ~3 pounds on the upper end to ballance it.

: i know this question was asked, but it only got one answer.

: For those of you who have built a bridge, would you know how much force in lbs it takes to lift up or push down that bridge.....from either ends?
