Bend bridge
You should model your bridge directly to the shape and curve you desire, that would be the efficient method. You seem to have your heart set on creating the bridge and then bending it to the radius you desire. To that end, I created a sample model to show that is possible. Of course I just created some dimensions to demonstrate. Model is attached.

I am the same user as @jhackney1950, it is my other handle. In the above statement you say you left a few comments in the .f3d file. I do not know what you mean by this, there is no f3d file attached from you. Please let me know what part of bending my bridge you need help with by responding to this post, to me directly.

I used the same model that I sent to you originally to create the video since you are familiar with it.

@jhackney1972 Something I did not see in the video, or in the model you attached is a correct K-Factor.
If you are looking for a specific inside or outside radius of the bent object, you need to make sure the K-Factor in the sheet metal rule is either set to 0 or 1.
