ports consisting of a transporter, a ramp bay at each bank and interior bays to complete the bridge between
ramp bays. The transporter is used to transport bridge bays overland to a riverbank and to launch and re-
trieve bays used in ribbon bridge. The bays are welded aluminum alloy construction. Bridge bays can be
rapidly connected together to form a continuous bridge and permit high volume stream or river crossing of
equipment.
