On some properties and projects, there is one gap that stops everything, and that's when you need a 50' portable bridge the most. Whether it's a wide creek, deep ravine, or major drainage channel can keep trucks, equipment, and everyday traffic from getting where they need to go. Our 50 foot steel bridges are built for those bigger crossings, giving you a single, engineered span that carries real loads and keeps people and vehicles well away from unstable ground.
ME Bridge Solutions' 50' portable temporary bridge rental was designed with structural steel beams and steel decking sized for demanding conditions. Each bridge is built to known load requirements, shipped on conventional trucks, and set with standard lifting equipment. The result is a straightforward crossing that does its job every day without turning into a drawn-out infrastructure project.
When a 50' Temporary Bridge Rental Is the Right Call
A 50 foot span is a good fit when you need to:
- Cross the main waterway or drainage on a site
- Pull the approaches back from eroding banks or steep slopes
- Support heavy, long-wheelbase vehicles on a clear, uninterrupted span
Common Uses For a 50’ Temporary Bridge Rental
1. Logging and construction on demanding terrain
On timber tracts with a single major draw or creek, a 50 foot Logging Temporary Bridge Rental often becomes the main route into the back of the property. Skidders, forwarders, and loaded log trucks get a solid crossing that stays usable in wet and dry weather and protects the banks from constant traffic. On large sitework or road projects, a 50 foot Temporary Bridge for Construction can carry excavators, articulated haul trucks, and concrete mixers across big ditches, stream corridors, or storm channels on primary haul roads so work keeps moving, even when water levels change.
2. Utilities, emergency relief, and solar access
Utilities and electric cooperatives regularly fight problem crossings that wash out or limit clearances. A 50 foot Utility Bridge gives bucket trucks, digger derricks, and line trucks a defined route over wide channels along powerlines or pipelines. After storms or failures, a 50 foot Emergency Relief Bridge can reconnect rural roads or farm lanes where a major culvert or small bridge has failed. For renewable projects, a 50 foot Solar Farm Bridge can span broad stormwater features or drainage corridors between array fields, inverters, and substations so construction and O&M crews have reliable access.
3. Large residential, farm, and shared-use access
Some private drives and shared roads need a longer span to work year-round. A 50 foot Prefabricated Bridge for residential, farm, or other shared uses can serve as the main driveway or private lane across a substantial creek or ravine. The same length can function as a shared crossing that supports light Pedestrian Bridge use, occasional ATV Bridge traffic, and regular pickups or small tractors moving into back acreage, common areas, or trailheads.
Plan Around the Toughest Crossing First
A 50' temporary bridge rental is usually chosen for the single crossing that causes the most trouble. Once that span is solved, access planning across the rest of the site becomes much simpler.
