These closed mind atitudes doesn't help the curiosity, which is so important to go look what we have around us. And yes, before saying anything as we would know better how to make this brigde or something else, we should get some informations about the artist and his work...

It has steel connectors and steel tension members, using this method one could build this bridge out of pasta. The tubes are not cardboard, which uses paper liner board and fluting between the layers, they are made from rolled paper which is much stronger than cardboard, especially in compression. Mr. Paterra above mentions a similar project, this was a true cardboard bridge used with a Rolls Royce on top, it was an advertisement for ST Regis Paper Co. DF This bridge is not cardboard.
