There is a slight difference between the specifications for the Team-Built bridge and the Official Bridge. The Team-Built bridge top is 88 by 48 in. while the Official Bridge top is 88 by 47 in. The Official Bridge has an aluminum side barrier that takes it up closer to 48 in. wide, but the surface is only 47 in. wide.

Both bridges use the same surface of a sheet of 1/8 in. thick polycarbonate which is 88 by 47 in. This is found on Drawing GE-12095 in the official field drawing set available on the usfirst.org web site.
