Thru Truss Goes the Distance
When you have to go the distance… and it has to be without piers… look to the Thru Truss to deliver clear spans of up to 300’. As the largest manufacturer in the U.S. of prefabricated steel truss bridges, you can rely on the structural integrity of our bridge to meet your infrastructure needs. The Thru Truss describes high or box truss bridges. It involves portal frames which increases their span capability. In doing so, the vertical clearance above the bridge’s roadway sets the truss height. Due to transverse bracing, these bridges have a high span capability.
More Than Just a Steel Bridge
Add aesthetics to your bridge structure with the Thru Truss from U.S. Bridge. And like all U.S. Bridge structures, the unique double bottom chord tension member design eliminates the possibility for the collection of water and debris, which will lead to the accelerated deterioration of the steel thereby reducing the useful life of the structure.
In addition, the Thru Truss style offers many advantages, to benefit your community. This bridge has an all-bolted construction option, which allows for easy on-site erection. It also has upper bracing that supports for longer length spans of up to 300′. Further, there are galvanized or self weathering finishes available. Lastly, the Thru Truss bridge guarantees a life span of 100+ years.
