Timber bridges can have many advantages. A high strength to weight ratio enables relatively lightweight structures to be built, minimising the loads on any new or existing foundations and maximising the potential for off-site fabrication of large components or even entire bridges.

Timber is also our only renewable construction material and can also offer a structure in complete sympathy with the natural surroundings.
