CTS Bridges has extensive experience in the design, manufacture and installation of cycleway and bridleway footbridges.

The company designs and fabricates these bridges in a variety of styles including all-timber, all-steel, or combinations of steel and timber. The most suitable material depends on the length of bridge required and CTS can give advice on the most suitable form of construction for each particular scheme.

Bridleway bridges

Bridleway bridges have a parapet height of 1.8m and a solid infill kicker rail at the base of the parapet. The deck of the bridge has a non-slip surface that reduces the noise of horses' hooves. Decking on equestrian bridges can be timber or steel, and can incorporate various non-slip options such as Hi-Grip Excel or Hi-Grip Plus non-slip decking, or rubber tiles or mats which also reduce noise.

Cycleway bridges

Cycleway bridges have a parapet height of 1.4m, and have a non-slip surface on the deck to ensure the safety of cyclists and other users. Available in timber or steel, and in short or long spans.

Vehicle access bridges

Vehicle access bridges are designed to suit traffic requirements and take into account the heaviest vehicles likely to use them. These bridges can provide access to private homes, farms, estates, public parks and supermarkets, etc and vary from taking small grass cutting machinery to full highway loading suitable for heavy plant. CTS has designed and manufactured a number of access bridges for wind farms in remote areas.
