Martin Marietta Composites has drawn worldwide attention with its leading line of fiber-reinforced polymer ("FRP") composite bridge decks. When compared to conventional materials, these FRP bridge decks are:

  • Low weight (one-fifth the weight of a comparable concrete deck)
  • Resistant to corrosion and freeze/thaw cycles
  • Rapidly installed
  • Easy to fabricate and transport
 Bridging to the Future

An excellent solution for infrastructure projects, the Martin Marietta Composites DuraSpan bridge deck provides low weight, corrosion resistance and rapid installation. The high-strength to low-weight ratio enables the bridge deck to carry modern traffic loads with little or no upgrade of the superstructure. This makes DuraSpan a great choice for movable bridges, historic bridges and urban bridge applications.

A composite bridge deck also provides greater durability and reduced maintenance costs over the life of the bridge. These and other benefits position fiber-reinforced composites as an important construction material for today and the future.

Martin Marietta Composites is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. DuraSpan bridge decks, along with our other structural composite products are manufactured in Sparta, North Carolina.
