...have you sighted the beams from the end and noted any perceptible deflection?
...have you snuck out to the end and given it a little bounce test?
...what size I-beams are they?

This is very cool and interesting project. Thanks for sharing and the documentation.
I know it looks like an eye sore now, but when were done the bridge, deck and cement pillars should blend into the back ground.

We have a 2� sag from the pillars to the end of the deck, we still have to get a positive camber at the end and weld in two kickers back to the pillars�.its going to be rock solid when were done and still have 20� cantilevered out.
The I beams are 10�
At sunset I grabbed a beer and cigar and snuck out to the end, it was bouncy but I sat down and enjoyed the view.�kinda felt good seeing another dream come true.
