A
Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated, truss bridge. It was
developed in 1940-1941 by the British for military use during the Second World
War and saw extensive use by British, Canadian and US military engineering
units. A Bailey bridge has the advantages of requiring no special tools or
heavy equipment to assemble. The wood and steel bridge elements were small and
light enough to be carried in trucks and lifted into place by hand, without the
use of a crane. The bridges were strong enough to carry tanks. Bailey bridges
continue to be used extensively in civil engineering construction projects and
to provide temporary crossings for pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
