Bailey

The Bailey, or Bailey bridge, is a type of portable, prefabricated bridge developed during World War II. It is designed for quick assembly and flexibility, using modular metal sections that can be easily transported and connected to span various distances. Originally created for military use, it has since been adopted for emergency repairs, temporary crossings, and small-scale infrastructure needs. Its strength, simplicity, and adaptability make it a reliable solution in situations requiring rapid deployment of a functional bridge without extensive construction work.
