Probably the only place you'd find detailed computations for such a bridge is in the design for a that type and size of bridge.
 
Pretty long bridge but try searching for

Designing anything for public use is not something to be done without experience and design review.

That's a long, presumably narrow and light bridge, so lots of aeroelastic phenomenon to consider. It would be most likely be equivalent in proportions to a highway bridge of 3 times that length, or more. That's some specialized design work, that should be led by an experienced bridge designer.
