Temporary bridge is a bridge structure specially designed for rapid construction and disassembly, mainly used for emergency rescue, construction site, and traffic diversion and other occasions. Due to their high degree of flexibility and mobility, temporary bridges play an important role in responding to natural disasters, accident handling, and infrastructure construction.
Temporary bridges are usually made of lightweight and strong materials, such as steel, aluminum alloy or composite materials, to ensure easy transport and quick installation. The design forms are diverse, common simple support beam bridge, arch bridge and steel plate bridge. The modular design allows the temporary bridges to be flexibly combined according to the specific conditions of the site to meet different traffic needs.
