Bow string steel truss bridges have an elegant appearance with an arch formation, and can add to a landscape, providing a visual landmark. They imitate many of the attributes of tied arch bridges. 

These bridges have a simple design and simple construction detailing, which makes them a cost effective alternative to more complex structures.

Steel bridges offer an economic solution for spans over 10m and can range up to 100m long.
