The WOODLAND is most often selected for pedestrian traffic. The
exterior stringers are positioned to allow the bridge deck to be
attached to the top of the stringers. A variety of rail and
picket designs are available for the Woodland bridge design.
The FAIRWAY is typically used for light
vehicular applications. The exterior stringers are raised
slightly higher than the bridge deck which allows this exposed
portion of the stringers to serve as a “curb” for traffic, such
as golf carts, equipment, and smaller vehicles. Rail and picket
designs are also available for the Fairway bridge.
The PARK, the third model of EnWood’s Girder
Type bridge system, is most often selected for applications
where the distance between the approach elevation, and the
bridge support elevation, needs to be minimal; thereby allowing
more clearance under the bridge.
