Recent state and local opportunities show governments buying complete steel truss bridge systems—from design and engineering through fabrication, delivery, and installation—as well as specialized repair work on existing truss bridges. The solicitations span new bridge construction on dedicated trails and pedestrian facilities, emergency bridge replacements, and focused structural repairs on operating bridges.
