How long will a timber vehicular bridge really last?
While the life of your specific bridge depends upon various factors, the U.S. Forest Service notes that more than 1,000 timber bridges at least 90 years old are still in service throughout the United States. Furthermore, since the quality and technology of pressure treatment has greatly increased in the last 90 years, you can expect that a bridge built today would last even longer. Choosing a builder who understands that superior materials, expert craftsmanship methods and the proper design work together to increase longevity is the best way to make sure your bridge will stand the test of time.
