Network rail has headed up a project that prototypes a new state of the art bridge that has the potential to transform railway crossings, making them safer, more affordable and more sustainable with the use of the Flex MSE system into the design. The curved, modular ’flow’ bridge, made of lightweight Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP), has been named to reflect its modern, flowing design.

The new-look bridge will initially be used to replace high-risk rural footpath crossings – as part of our ongoing drive to make the railway safer and easier for pedestrians to cross, with the adaptable, modular design being well suited to a variety of locations and its low cost will enable Network Rail to also replace existing bridges which might otherwise be temporarily fixed or refurbished.
