Project Specifications

A city in Quebec wanted to retrofit a steel bridge with a new durable surface. We replaced the deteriorating wooden planks and guardrails with our weld-free aluminum bridge decking, customized with clear anodized aluminum guardrails with vertical pickets and built-in LED lighting. The cost-saving retrofit extends the life of the main bridge structure.
