What is Bailey Bridge? But for those who don't know about it, let me tell you
In this informative video, we take a look at the concept of the Bailey Bridge, a remarkable engineering solution designed for rapid deployment and versatility. While discovering its history, construction techniques, significance of this innovative bridge design in both military and civilian contexts and its impact on infrastructure development.

Bailey Bridge is an emergency bridge built in rugged areas with steep slopes. Today, such a bridge is being built for disaster relief and military purposes. It is made by assembling the parts that have already been made quickly to the place where they need to be made.
The first Bailey bridge in India was built for civilian purposes across the Pampa river at Ranni in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala. When the 36-year-old Ranni bridge across the Pampanadi in Ranni collapsed, the army constructed such a temporary bridge to replace the bridge. For the next two months, light vehicles crossed the river through this bridge. On 8 November 1996, the Army constructed the Bailey Bridge at Ranni. It is the tallest steel bridge to be built. For the first time in India, this kind of bridge was built for military purpose in Kashmir. It was built between the Drass River and the Suru River in Ladakh. It was 30 meters (98 feet) long. It is located at an altitude of 5,602 meters (18,379 ft) above sea level. It was established by the Indian Army.
These types of bridges were designed by the British during the Second World War. British, Canadian, and American Army forces use these types of bridges. In 1942, during the Second World War, British man Donald Bailey was the first to build such a bridge. That is why the bridge is called Bailey bridge. These have many advantages. No special equipment is needed to make them. No heavy machinery required for assembly.

Already made of wood and steel, its small parts are light and compact, so it is not difficult to transport them from one place to another in a truck. Due to the light weight of the parts, it can be installed by hand. Cryin is not needed. But these are pretty solid. Even large tanks can be transported through it. They are used worldwide for many purposes in civil engineering. During construction work these are used to make temporary footpaths and bridge for small vehicles...
