Steel bridge GATEWAY®

trusspedestrian

The Gateway style is a popular truss design for pedestrian bridges. It utilizes the stability of the box girder for longer spans up to 240 feet. This design is particularly useful in highway and railroad overpasses. In the custom design phase, all variables are considered, including unusual alignments, grade differences, switchbacks and cantilevers, as well as special architectural treatments, glazing requirements, pre-wired electrical systems and custom paint finishes. This Gateway style of pedestrian bridge has often been used for building walkways and other overpass bridges, and can be custom designed to match any architectural requirement and provide superior aesthetic appeal. 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.
