Hi Simon,
I had the same situation a year ago when I got to a model where I had to insert a bridge that has three arches in it. The way I had it modeled is to use a semi-circle equation that shows like this: r^2=x^2+y^2. Here r stands for the radius of the circle, and so, for our bridge it is half the value of the span of the arches. You can isolate y (the elevation in meters or feet) in the equation and calculate the values for a list of x’s that are bounded between the first and last point of each arch in your bridge. The more you use small steps between x and x+1, the more you get a well defined arch.
