I remember reading about a bridge design in Symogi's book, I forgot the luthier now, but he designed he bridge to be more or less an I-Beam laying on it's side such that the I-beam flanges were the front and rear of the bridge and the web was in the middle. This was done mostly on the wings of course but the idea was to loose weight while retaining strength.
