I am not a native English speaker, but aren't the segments of a bridge
between the vertical supports called spans?  If that's right, one could find

A spanner (in this context) is something that spans.  So we could

It's a travée in French...
Travée implies more of a space between things than the thing filling the space.
 That said, I don't see why not, but Jean-Charles would be better equipped than
I to give an opinion on the subject.

Don't you have in Italian such a tool as

that might help!

Cheers,
