Temporary Bridges

These types of temporary structures are often seen bridging rivers or sections of terrain that are uneven at construction sites, and they can also be used to redirect road traffic during construction projects. They can be rolled out within a matter of hours, and they are flat-packed for easy transportation and storage. Smaller versions can be utilized by pedestrians to ensure they are safe crossing construction sites.
The larger versions of these structures can be used to cross rivers or railway lines, and are even classified as fully highway-rated. Bridges are constructed to redirect traffic around impassable obstacles or to allow large vehicles to access remote mining or oil sites. These larger bridges can be constructed in sections, and later joined. They are usually packaged as pre-fabricated components which need to be assemble.
Certain bridges are protected from the impact of large ships using a raised sea floor and "fender systems" which shield them from the force of waves or debris. For instance, the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge, which is a major site for container ship traffic is protected by a rock island built around the tower's bases.
