Pedestrian Bridges Built to Connect People with Purpose

Sustainable, On-Site Pedestrian Bridge Construction by York Bridge Concepts

Solutions for Every Environment

For Parks & Recreation

Provide access to nature with pedestrian bridges that blend into the landscape. Our bridges serve public parks, greenways, trails, and wetlands -- built with minimal clearing and long-term stability in mind.

For Land Developers

Connect neighborhoods, amenities, and walking paths with pedestrian bridges that match your community's aesthetic. We build across ponds, streams, and ravines without disrupting the surrounding ecosystem.

For Campuses, Resorts & Institutions

Elevate the guest or student experience with signature pedestrian crossings that make movement across large properties intuitive and inspiring -- from event centers and gardens to walking trails and water features.

For Municipalities

YBC pedestrian bridges support public access infrastructure, improve walkability, and help meet sustainability goals. We design and construct bridges that align with your city's  identity and function reliably for decades.

The YBC Advantage: On-Site, Sustainable, Site-Specific

Most pedestrian bridge builders ship prefabricated kits that force you to fit the land to the bridge.

We do the opposite.

York Bridge Concepts builds on-site, working with your site's topography, vegetation, and constraints to design a solution that's both structurally sound and environmentally respectful.

Our construction methods preserve:

  • Natural terrain and slope
  • Vegetation and wildlife corridors
  • Water quality and hydrologic flow
  • Community character and aesthetics
