Temporary Steel Bridge Video Series

In cooperation with the New England Region Council on Forest Engineering, members of the SSSBA presented a webinar series that covered the cost-effective design, installation, maintenance, and use of temporary steel bridges.

Temporary steel bridges provide a rapid, flexible, durable and cost-effective solution for a variety of sites requiring a temporary crossing.

These structures can be used to provide detours to direct traffic around road construction sites during bridge replacement, repair, or in emergency situations. Temporary steel bridges also allow safe and efficient access for workers, heavy off-road vehicles, machinery, and equipment.

The recorded webinar (March 2021) is now available to view on-demand (professional development hours are not included for viewing the recorded session).
