Strong, yet lightweight, Steel Girder Bridges from Algonquin Bridge ship and install quickly on any foundation type and without the need for poured concrete or specialized bridge construction companies, making them perfect for accelerated bridge construction.

Discover the superior quality of our factory-built Girder Bridges
These Steel Girder Bridge superstructures are pre-engineered and prefabricated in the controlled environment of our CWB-certified facility, which offers precise tolerances, superior welding integrity and other key fabrication differentiators over location-built bridges.

Reduced road closure times
Algonquin’s Steel Girder Bridges can often be installed in one day, using local crews and on-hand equipment, saving you time and money in accelerated bridge construction projects.

Typical Steel Girder Bridge section
Modules are usually about 2.4 m (7.9′) wide for shipping on standard trailers. Lengths can reach up to 27.4 m (90′). Lengths greater than this will have a field-bolted longitudinal splice. Custom lengths and widths are easily accommodated.

Package up your Steel Girder Bridge and save
