The strongest truss for cantilevering objects is the octet-truss, however you could possibly gain more efficiency using a lorimerlite framework which should only be used to hold up objects from beneath carrying only compression however it depends how high the bridge needs to be suspended in relation to the size of the gap it must bridge.

The traditional, formulaic construction materials for a bridge are stone, steel, timber (some cases), or for precise and better reinforcements, concrete (cement). Steel is without doubt the strongest building material available. While some still use and prefer solely to use concrete structuring, steel remains the better choice because it weighs less, is stronger than cement, is flexible but thick, and endures more stress.

When talking about the best material for higher standard tensions, the strongest and most secure is not, unfortunately, the cheapest.

In common bridges, pure steel ropes, with few more improvements/supporting, are usually used to support bridges and ease weight on the tension. But it's not necessarily the strongest. Boron fiber, although not very practical since it's very expensive, is probably one of the strongest tension materials there is. Carbon fibers can be a more reasonable choice as well. They [Boron and Carbon fibers] are new materials in the bridge construction department, and although hard to obtain, they have a longer durability than most materials, saving the need for periodic and back-to-back maintenance.

An arch bridge although harder to construct will be the strongest bridge and can be the lightest.
