The Bridges

These are pre-engineered, prefabricated stress-laminated timber bridges. Each bridge is built as two deck panels (modules) that are delivered to the site and then set side-by-side and bolted together. The deck panels are reinforced along the edges with steel channel, which helps protect the bridge and provides attachment points for optional rails.

They're commonly used where you need reliable vehicle or heavy equipment access across small streams, ditches, or low areas. Installation takes hours rather than weeks or months, and cranes are generally not required. They are engineered to carry loads weighing up to 80,000-lb and can be used for temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent access.

Notes

I built this website with Claude Code. I thought it would be cool to document the process of selling 10 bridges.
