Custom display over Saturn V for mini figures and Amiibos

First time posting, but I have been lurking for a while now. I recently re fell in love with legos after building the Saturn V rocket. I was so amazed at the build and how every thing went together so perfectly. I immediately wanted to display it in my Man cave. After I did I started thinking about my other cool things I wanted to display. My collection of 100 amiibos that were just sitting in a bag came to mind. The rocket takes up a lot of room and I was wondering how I could display the rocket and all my Amiibos on the same shelf. I decided to build a 3-foot bridge that would go over my Saturn V. So far I have built a 2 level bridge and I have one more level to go to fit my 100 Amiibos on it. So that’s the back story, any advice or incite on my built would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to keep it looking like a bridge but also keeping it as a functional display. I was thinking of adding ramps to make it more realistic but, I am not really sure how to do that with the limited space I have. I already need to lower the bridge to fit on the 3rd level. I have been able to put 36 lbs on the lower level and it creaks but holds steady. I was impressed, but not sure if that’s good? I stuck with Mostly White, Black and Gray, the bridge is totally symmetrical bar a few off color variations. I kinda wanted it to look like the Tynes bridge but I have no idea how to make the struts or if they would even add any strength. Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope to hear from you guys. Wally
