A modular steel bridge is designed to carry the weight of vehicles. Strong and lightweight, these bridges allow you to bridge a road over a stream, railroad, or gulch inexpensively and easily. Modular steel bridges are designed to carry standard highway loads and they can be single or multiple lanes.

Modular steel bridges are designed to be simple. They usually consist of a simply supported structural system in which the bridge is only supported by a pier or abutment at each end. These types of bridges are found all over, in a variety of applications.

Modular steel bridges can be permanent or temporary. Some municipalities will use a temporary modular steel bridge for a road detour, for example. A modular steel bridge can also be a permanent road bridge for an urban or rural area. A modular steel bridge can be utilitarian, or it can be designed in a way that it becomes an icon of your community. Options with modular steel bridges include sidewalks and utility corridors, as well as more architectural details like truss panels.
