After you completed the array command, did you explode it and loft from section to section within the array?
Yes. I used an odd number of sections to match up with your samples.  I think I used 7 at the top. The number of sections I used was meant to assure myself of the sampling. you should isolate each section and verify that they are perpendicular to the centerline for accuracy. ( I did not do that in my example)

It seems like there would be a way to loft from section to section without manually clicking down the whole line of array items. I tried to recreate your steps and created an array with a small spacing between items and then started to loft between each section, just seemed really repetitive.  Does it matter what the spacing is of the array prior to doing the loft command? I want to make sure I know exactly how you did this for future reference.

 

Also, do you have any ideas on how to create an arbitrary surface (or multiple) to represent the top of falsework? There will be falsework towers with header beams at locations along the curve with straight beams between them (provided by others). I am trying to determine the elevation they need to set their header beams/longitudinal beams to in order for us to build the ramp to the correct elevation.

 

I would draw and align a rectangle under each section and loft it as well, model your beams and columns under that and use the array command along the centerline.  Let the column run longer than needed and use the slice command to trim off the excess at your base elevation. To create the guides for your top of beams you could use the imprint command.
