Vehicular Bridges for Heavy Loading Applications

U.S. Bridge Heavy LoadsThe strength and durability of our U.S. Bridge vehicular truss structures allow a wide range of unique solutions that accomodate heavy loading requirements, including HS20-44 and HS25.

Vehicular Truss Bridges for Overpasses and Underpasses

Steadfast Vehicular OverpassAs the design pacesetter for the industry, our U.S. Bridge vehicular truss structures are safe, durable, affordable and aesthetic solutions.

Truss Bridges for Stream and Wetland Crossings

Truss Wildlife CrossingLonger clear spans minimize the use of piers or immediate supports. Therefore Continental pedestrian bridges and our U.S. Bridge vehicular structures are an ideal solution for crossing sensitive areas and wetlands with little or no impact on the environment. Lack of piers also leads to improved hydraulic efficiency.

Truss Structures for Bridge Replacement

A-2000 Sanitary Sewer Pre-engineered Truss structures provide fast-track solutions for bridge replacement projects with quick installation – saving both time and money. These prefabricated truss structures are often installed in just one to three days.
