	Bailey bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bailey was later knighted for his invention, which continues to be widely produced and used today.
		A large part of what made Bailey bridges as successful and unique as they were is the modular design, and the fact that it could be assembled with minimal aid from heavy equipment.
		The bridge is placed on rollers and simply pushed across the gap, at which point the roller is removed (with the help of jacks) and the ribands and roadbed installed, along with any additional panels and transoms that might be needed.

	BAILEY BRIDGES
		Bailey bridges are built in the United Kingdom by the bridge builders Mabey and Johnson at Twyford on the River Thames, 60 kilometers west of London.
		In other bridges the strength lies in the floor to be driven over or, in suspension bridges, the arch the bridge hangs from.
		Such a bridge can be completely assembled on rollers on one side of a river and then just pushed across until it gets to the other side, with weights at the back to stop it failing into the river' Or it can be lifted into position by crane.

		Finally, it was decided to build a crib bridge using granite slabs from nearby quarries, similar in design to a bridge that had been observed in Scotland.
		The granite slabs were sufficiently heavy to withstand the buffeting of wind and wave and the open cribbing or cellular construction permitted the tide to ebb and flow freely without increasing the normal tidal current to any appreciable degree.

		As the bridge deteriorated, management actions would be required to move and reinstall a waterline and a raw sewage line, electrical conduits, and telecommunication conduits currently attached to the South Fork Bridge.
		The appearance of the bridge would be made similar to the existing bridge by incorporating a natural river cobble façade around railing pedestals and interior approach walls and a river rock formliner pattern on the face of the abutments, wingwalls, and exterior approach walls formed from an existing South Fork Bridge pier/abutment rock face.
		Bridge debris removal, in response to an eventual collapse of all or a portion of the South Fork Bridge, and traffic congestion at the temporary Bailey bridge, would result in local, short-term, negligible to moderate, adverse impacts on noise.

	South Fork Merced River Bridge Replacement Project
		The bridge would be replaced with a single-span structure, and a temporary Bailey bridge (constructed when the existing bridge on the South Fork Merced River was condemned and closed in 1998), currently carrying traffic across the river, would be removed.
		The temporary Bailey bridge and the transitional road segments would be removed, and the area surrounding the temporary bridge site would be restored.
		As discussed previously, the bridge on the river constricts flood flows, causing backwater effects and increased velocities, altering the channel of the South Fork Merced River.
