We get asked this question a lot: "Which is Faster: Timber or Steel Bridge Construction?"

The choice between a timber bridge and a steel bridge involves careful consideration of various factors, one of which is the construction time.

York Bridge Concepts, a renowned builder of premium timber bridges, understands the importance of efficiency and timeliness in bridge construction. We will delve into the construction time aspect of this decision and explore how York Bridge Concepts excels in delivering quality timber-built bridges without compromising on speed and precision.

Timber bridges are often praised for their speed of construction. York Bridge Concepts leverages the natural efficiency of timber to ensure that your bridge is completed promptly. According to Dave Conkel, bridge engineer with MnDOT Bridge State Aid: “Timber bridges can be built faster. You can [build] them in a couple of days to weeks with timber as opposed to months with other construction materials.” 

With YBC as your partner, your project can move forward swiftly, minimizing disruptions and delays.
