Suspension Bridge Construction and Free-Span Bridges

Free-Span Bridges

Today, there is no reason to forego the beauty of wood free-span bridges to allow for unimpeded water flow, or to create a signature design statement in a highly visible location.

In gardens and golf courses, in parks and nature preserves, a wooden bridge using glulam beams can last a lifetime while enhancing the natural setting. Glulam beams are kiln dried and pressure treated, making them long lasting, versatile, economical, and strong.

If a steel-framed, free-span bridge is what you are in the market for, Nature Bridges specializes in suspension bridge construction and can install one of the nation's top prefabricated steel bridge frames at your site. We can then add architectural features by constructing wood decking and guard rails from one of our many designs.

Steel frames and glulam beams have been used in free-span bridges of up to 200 feet. Nature Bridges combines the best-quality materials and hardware for your suspension bridge construction. The end result is picture perfect.



"The Department, both management and staff, have been impressed by the level of workmanship demonstrated at every stage of construction, and we are most pleased with the final product. It is my pleasure to give J.D. James, Inc. DBA Nature Bridges the highest possible recommendation. "
