A pre fabricated 20 foot FiberSPAN™ trail bridge in Germantown MetroPark Dayton, has been installed. Manufactured by Composite Advantage, the zero-maintenance Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) trail bridgespans a stream as part of a new trail construction project at the Germantown, Ohio park. The Dayton area’s Five Rivers MetroParks covers nearly 16,000 acres. Germantown MetroPark is considered one of the most diverse and significant natural areas managed by MetroPark. The bridge was light enough to make installation easy in a remote location without the use of heavy equipment. It also was installed in just one hour in single-digit temperatures. The anti-slip wearing surface provides excellent slip resistance. The fiberglass bridge was delivered to the site with curbs and steel railings attached; and meets the industry standard of 90 lbs per square-foot pedestrian live load. CA engineers its fiberglass trail bridge and bridge deck products for superior strength, lighter weight and corrosion resistance to water and chemicals. These performance properties give the manufacturer’s bridge products a lifespan of 50-plus years.
