        Easiest 30 second way is TGI warp. But for some reason mines not working today 😑

        1 The slow way to is to create a plane. Use follow me along the bend of the curve

        2 Draw equally divided lines underneath for push and pull

        3 Draw the arcs of the bridge

        4 Push and pull arcs with + ctrl. Intersect selected model

        5 Remove intersected ( or use solid plugin)

        6 Push pull bottom parts to extend height
