Bridge Builder - The unofficial homepage -
http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com
The concept of Bridge Builder is simple and brilliant at the same time.
Your task is to build a bridge which has to support a passing train and
stay undamaged. Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to stay undamaged,
the train just has to pass to the other side safely... Each bridge
element is $100 and your budget is limited. The process is simulated
using a fairly realistic physics engine and rendered in real time.

Pontifex is the official sequel to a freeware game in which you design

Immortal Engine which allows for many different types of bridges to be
built. Once the design is completed you can test your bridge by sending
a train across and watch as the train either passes over safely or
plummets into the river below. The 3D engine lets you view your bridge
from any angle including a first-person train view. Many different types
of levels are included, from simple to complex, and a level editor lets
you make your own levels to trade with other people.
