Bridges 


Kernen Construction’s prefabricated bridges are used in a wide variety of capacities and have proven to be a very cost effective solution for many of our customers. These bridges are our own design and are manufactured to the customer’s specifications.

These bridges hold many advantages over culverts or structural plate. For example, the prefabricated bridges are less expensive to install, they are maintenance free and are easily assembled in less than two days. They also allow better fish passage than culverts, and protect streambeds and water quality during construction.
