Parks &
Trails
Steadfast and Continental prefabricated steel truss
bridges can be found in parks, down wilderness
trails, high above wetlands, and along riverbanks.
These structures reduce time consuming permitting
processes by clear spanning wetland areas.
Counties, municipalities, and state departments
often choose these truss structures for park
greenway systems or for Rails-to-Trails projects.
The bridges can accommodate unique architectural
styles to blend in with park systems for large river or
small stream crossings.

Structures are often installed in 1-3 days and are virtually
maintenance free.
