At The National Museum of the American Indian in Washington. They had a video on the reconstruction of the bridge and a recreation of a short segment but life sized. It was amazing to see even as a replica - especially since I will never be able to see one in situ!

ETA - that exhibit is still there! The Great Inka Road: Engineering an Empire: https://americanindian.si.edu/explore/exhibitions/item?id=945

ETA - it will be there for another year. Well worth seeing, if you can make it to DC.
