ABSTRACT:
A bridge span consisting of a series of end-to-end engageable bridge modules can be launched across a gap from a launch vehicle with the aid of an overhead launch rail consisting of a series of end-to-end engageable launch rail modules, the rail having been previously cantilevered out across the gap from the vehicle. The launch rail carries a cable-driven trolley beneath which the leading end of the bridge span is slung, after the leading end of the rail has been located upon the far bank, and the span then winched out so as to bridge the gap.
