I'm not a structural engineer and I am expected a certain amount of derision for suggesting this but how about building a buttress in the middle of the span with a v shaped top supporting the weakest areas.

I guess it would need to have a certain amount of 'give' both vertically and horizontally to allow for flex but I can't think it would be impossible or hugely expensive.
