Humpback bridge

A humpback bridge (or hump bridge) is an arch bridge where the deck follows the curve of the arch, rising from ramps on either side to the crown of the span, forming a hump-like arrangement. Examples include Chinese and Japanese moon bridges and the Humpback Covered Bridge in the United States.
