Signature Bridges

Make a lasting impression with an AIL ​Signature Bridge.

Vehicular, pedestrian or recreational – a new architectural bridge brings a community together and makes a very visual impact. It’s an opportunity to pay tribute to local heritage, reflect architectural styles and create a notable focal point.

Signature Bridges​ make bold architectural statements
Signature Bridges break existing paradigms. They make bold, architectural statements. They become focal points for our communities.

Outside the box, but inside the budget
Whether you are a municipal leader with a napkin sketch or a town planner with a conceptual drawing, we can help you bring your vision to life with a Signature Bridge. We’ll combine your inspiration and passion with our engineering talent and streamlined process to create a distinctive and affordable architectural bridge solution.

Let’s create something special
Our architectural bridge designers are accustomed to working with communities to capture their essence in stunning designs. Starting with a wide variety of styles and truss types, the palette of features and options is as expansive as the Signature Bridges themselves – colours, architectural accents and lighting, decking, railings, abutment treatments, naming signage and more.

Our Tunable Bridge offers clear spans of up to 122 m (400′)
The Tunable Bridge is a revolutionary breakthrough from our architectural bridge designers, that is perfect for spanning high-traffic corridors or difficult terrain.

It combines the physics of a tied arch with any standard steel truss system or girder superstructure and features an innovative adjustable structural system to balance the live and dead loads between the arches and trusses. With no fracture-critical members, this redundant stress sharing system increases safety and allows for lighter, lower-cost material and longer, more graceful signature bridge designs.
