Chips' Bridge


This project consisted of a 30-foot single span bridge with ramps over tributary to East Branch, behind Chimney Rock Park. This bridge uses arched beams and handrails similar to Tom's bridge. The beams are 30 feet long, have a fifteen-inch arch and weigh 1,200 pounds each. They were purchased from Enwood Structures of Louisville Kentucky who designed them to our specifications. Designed, built and shipped to us they cost about $1,160.00 each and there are three beams to support this six-foot wide bridge. The total length with ramps is 57 Feet. Chip Martin and Troop 46 completed it in February 1998.
