I went to the hobby shop and got some basswood stock. I laid the track out on a a couple pieces of paper and figured how to get the curvature of the bridge to fit both the track and the two ends it would be attached to. Then it was a matter of cutting and gluing the pieces together. I did not use anything but an idea in my head to come up with my curved bridge. Hope these pictures will give you an idea how to do yours.
 
That's some nice work, Souleman. Thanks for the pics.

I got the Woodland Scenics incline on the other side and some track so I'm getting close to needing the bridges.

thanks
Paul

Obviously you'll want to rotate the pictures but these give you a better idea how I sectioned the bridge to accommodate the curve. One of these days I'll add more spars to the under-lament of the bridge to make it look more real and "railroady" but for now it allows the train to go over the lower track.
