The parabolic curve is one of the most efficient structural designs known in bridge engineering. It is also one of the most timeless. The classic appearance of the Keystone truss bridge is frequently used in residential and commercial settings where aesthetics dictate the bridge style. With clear spans up to 150 feet for vehicular and 250 feet for pedestrian, the Keystone style is one of our most popular designs. The depth at the center is usually 10% of the clear span. With longer spans, the center depth may be reduced to 7% of the span.
Continental pedestrian bridges range from basic structures to unique custom solutions. With clear spans to 250 feet and more, Continental pedestrian bridges are ideal for crossings over highways, railroad tracks, rivers and wetlands.
Continental prefabricated pedestrian bridges allow for quick installation, reducing site construction time and lowering costs, and require minimal maintenance. Continental pedestrian bridges are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship.
With over 14,000 installed since 1974, these aesthetic solutions offer a variety of styles, rail, deck and finish options, all with rapid installation.
