Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

Seems that Leonardo designed a 280 meter single-span bridge in response to a sultan's request. The configuration is a very flat arch, with wide "feet" at each end to spread the loads. Nothing in antiquity was remotely close to this in a single span, at that time bridges were built with circular arches with columns at each end (many columns sitting in the riverbed). While the shape of this bridge has been approximated with modern materials, this time the researchers wanted to determine if it could have been built with what was on site -- big, cut stone. Story is here, http://news.mit.edu/2019/leonardo-da-vinci-bridge-test-1010
