Jack, <br />You say you have a pile of brick in your yard? An idea, form a curve over the water with plywood or something similar. Mix up a little concrete and use those bricks to build an arch bridge. Start from the bottom of the arch with the bricks laid flat to the arch. Slabber on some cemet and set the next brick on top. Smoo***he next brick down in the cement till the side to the arch is square with the arch. Repeat on both sides till the arch is complete. At the top of the arch, you could grind one brick to shape to form a keystone. Chip off some bricks to fit the arched brick to build back to the bank. Fill the cavity with gravel or small rocks till it's almost full and then cap level with cement. Make the railings out of track rails. <br />The Overseas Railroad, built by Henry Flagler around 1900, used this type of construction for the bridges through the Florida Keys to Key West. He just kept adding arches till he had crossed from one island to the next. Many of his bridges still stand today.
