== This is literally a repetition of the truss bridge and cantilever bridge lists ==

The problem arises from the fact that the Wikipedia community hasn't cleared out what is considered a beam bridge, a truss bridge or a cantilever bridge, an issue that has also been discussed in the truss bridge and cantilever bridge lists.

A beam bridge is by definition a bridge whose deck is supported by two piers like a beam. That meaning, it's not a truss and if it was cut in the middle it wouldn't work like two cantilevers.

You may as well start by excluding all bridges made of a metallic truss, whether continuous or cantilevered, and keep concrete bridges. From those, you may then remove bridges like the Sfalassà Viaduct cause the structure of that one is cantilevered.
