Bedford Reinforced Plastics — a full-service supplier offering an extensive line of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products and services — highlighted its ReadySpan bridge systems at the PTBA Sustainable Trails Conference, held March 19-21, 2024, in Lanier Islands, Georgia.
The ReadySpan pedestrian, equestrian and light vehicle bridges are lightweight, high-strength and designed to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions. FRP material is resistant to heat, high winds, rain, snow and saltwater. It won’t shrink, swell, warp, corrode or attract insects — outperforming wood and steel bridges year after year.
ReadySpan bridges are ready for quick shipping whenever needed and easy to assemble upon arrival with a few common tools. ReadySpan bridges are also available completely pre-assembled for added installation convenience.
“Bedford ReadySpan bridges provide those in the trail and parks industry with a low-maintenance, cost-effective and long-lasting option when it comes to their bridge solutions,” said Eric Kidd, marketing director for Bedford Reinforced Plastics. “Whether the bridge is on a rugged ATV trail, community park or anything in between, the ReadySpan solution lasts decades longer and features safer conditions than bridges made of wood or steel – and without sacrificing any aesthetics in the process.”
ReadySpan bridges are available in a range of sizes and capable of meeting the demands of load carrying conditions.
ReadySpan bridge applications include:
- State parks
- Hiking and biking trails
- ATV and equestrian trails
- New & replacement installations
