PROJECTS : BRIDGES
This page brings you some of the different pedestrian bridges that Tri-State Company has built over the years. The majority of these bridges are built in a remote location and most of the material has to be flown in by helicopter. Most of these bridges are built out of pressure treated wood material, but there are a few projects where we have built them out of concrete or stone. These bridges exhibit some of the best work that we have done are are proud of, so take a look at some of the pictures of these projects and enjoy.
