There are over 10,000 timber road bridges in Australia; they are critical infrastructure. However, studies show around a third of this bridge population is in poor condition and deteriorating faster than Councils can replace them. To date, all designs to replace timber bridges are of two types; either expensive and requiring road closures of 4-6 months to replace, or lower cost but coming with a maintenance burden and suitable only for minor roads.

Aurecon’s A-Bridge design overcomes all these issues; providing a low cost, short road closure solution coupled with lowest maintenance and suitability for all roads. Unlike prior modular designs, the A-Bridge is suitable for all road bridges with spans to 24m and bridge lengths to 60m, whilst meeting design Standards.
