Alaska Crossing Solutions Flatcar Bridges

Alaska Crossing Solutions

Rapidly cross streams with permit compliant railcar bridge structures while protecting fish and adjacent resources.

Alaska Crossing Solutions distributes flatcar bridges for industrial, municipal and public works, low-volume roads, access roads, forestry, agricultural, and pedestrian applications. Our bridges provide a practical, cost-effective alternative to conventional bridge construction, especially in remote or challenging access locations or projects with a very short schedule. 

Dozens and dozens of these structures have been installed already in Alaska.

For sale or lease.

Flatcar Bridge Details

Flatcars are available in lengths up to 89 feet long
Flatcars are generally 9-ft to 9.5-ft wide and can be steel or timber decked.
Heavy duty industrial applications typically use steel decks, and side-by-side flatcar construction to provide an 18-ft wide bridge.
Rural installations typically use a single flatcar with 13-ft long timber decking which provides a 12-ft travel lane with 6-inch guardrail timbers.
