Thanks everyone! I am certainly glad that you like them.
This Custom Arch will double as a part of the Jeep Tour. This will eliminate the people from stopping the Jeeps.
I started with two shorter sections to get the columns symetrical:

Then I connected them in the middle and added the ledges on the front:

Then I added the ramps on either side:

Then I placed the Jeep Tour path on the structure. I added the Elevated Path in the back to be a bit higher and placed statuary and lamp posts. I also placed some higher walls on the elevated path for the scenery when riding the Jeep:

Placing fence and foliage is next. The Wetland Trees are the only ones that wanted to go next to the water:

An overview. This is the current zoo map I will be work on, so when I get the Jeep tour running, I will try to post images in my Show and Tell of how the structure looks from the Jeeps:

It's a great idea, it made my zoos so much more scenic. I like the idea of using it as a jeep tour.
