   Hi, Walterboy—

   Urea glue is waterproof, and does well surrounded by moisture. However, it's brittle, and your bridge will do much better with a slightly more flexible adhesive, such as epoxy, which is also waterproof.

   I would recommend a two-part marine epoxy (made for wood), such as West System, for your bridge. Two-part epoxies fare better in the weather, expecially those that are formulated to do so. The people at West System design their adhesives to hold wooden boats together (immersed in fresh and salty water) so it shoud be good enough for us mere bridge-building mortals!

   Best o' luck on the project, and post a photo or two when you get the chance.
