Hi! I’m Vidhu, and along with my partner Katie, we are here to advocate for the bridge that we have created for the town of Needabridge. We hope that by the end of this speech, we believe you will put the “truss” in trust. So how we started was we were given some criteria. This included Now, let’s cut to the chase. This bridge will stretch across Gotnobridge river, to create a safe and reliable way for the citizens to cross from the east to the west side of town.

But, the question is, what if something goes wrong? Not that we’re saying that it will, but hey! Murphy 's Law. If something can go wrong, it will. So how will you hold us accountable? That’s easy.
