I had almost the same deal with a cross-country power line. If 'twere me, I'd use them to build a traditional bridge(s) with vertical support posts, 5 or 6 for runners/beams/joists (depending on expected loading) and planking sawn from the poles. I built a lot of cattle guards, bridges, corrals, barns, etc out of the things. Be aware that creosote is a KNOWN CARCINOGIN and appropriate measures need to be taken when sawing it. I don't think it's possible for all the creoste to leach out. There should be someone around with a portable band mill to saw them for you. Lumber from them also makes great trailer decking/flooring.
