Temporary Bridges

We supply and install robust modular steel bridge systems suitable for civil engineering, infrastructure, and access projects across the UK and Ireland. These include modular bridges configurable for single or dual carriageway access, with optional pedestrian and cycle lanes, as well as quick-installed bridge systems up to 16m in length.

Our modular bridges can be fitted with:

• A durable anti-skid running surface
• Crash barriers compliant with highway standards
• Custom spans and configurations to suit site-specific requirements

Yes. We hold in stock a number of quick-installed bridge systems (up to 16m span). These can be installed in as little as 2 lifts and are completely modular.

Yes. Our modular bridging systems can be configured for single or dual carriageways, and we can also incorporate pedestrian and cycle lanes depending on your project requirements.

We provide a complete temporary bridging service, including:

• Bespoke bridge design
• Foundation construction
• Professional installation
• Regular maintenance inspections during use
• Safe dismantling and removal after project completion

Installation times depend on the span, configuration, and site conditions, but our quick-install bridges can be in place very rapidly (often within a single day). Larger modular bridges are still designed for efficient installation with minimal disruption.

Our bridging solutions are widely used in:

• Civil engineering and infrastructure works
• Construction projects requiring site access
• Emergency access following flooding or bridge failure
• Temporary diversions for highways, pedestrians, and cyclists

Yes. All bridges are designed, installed, and maintained to meet or exceed UK highway standards, including crash barrier safety requirements.

We primarily offer bridge hire solutions, which are a cost-effective option for temporary projects. We also offer sale and buyback for cost certainty in unknown durations. Please contact our team if you require a long-term hire or purchase arrangement.

You can contact our bridge engineering team directly to discuss your requirements or request a detailed quotation. We’ll assess your project and recommend the most suitable bridging solution. Please contact us on 02890 813105 or est@dawsonwam.co.uk
