The New Fiberglass Bridge at Lake Mohawk!

Lake Mohawk is a planned recreational community in Sussex County, NJ.  It is home to almost 3,000 families and includes many beaches and recreational facilities around the shores of Lake Mohawk.

The Lake Mohawk Golf Club is one of the recreational facilities. It prides itself on its stunning golf course nestled on West Shore Trail, featuring an 18-hole, par 70 course.

Links Bridges was asked to replace a bridge that spanned a canal area at the Lake Shore.  The bridge needed to fit perfectly into existing infrastructure like canal walls.  It also had to be integrated with ramps and decks in an area that supports many community facilities. The project proceeded under the guidance of Sabine Watson, Engineer for the Lake Mohawk Country Club.  She engaged the EIC Group, an engineering firm out of Fairfield, NJ and Harrington Contractors, a local company, for the installation phase.

The project was recently completed and the results are spectacular.  According to Sabine Watson, “I think this is a model promo for your company!    The Board and Community are also thrilled with the bridge and appreciate the ease in which it was installed.”

Many of Links Bridges‘ projects involve replacing old bridges. We custom make our (100% Fiberglass) bridges to very precise measurements and specifications. Because of that, we are able to help the customer make maximum re-use of existing infrastructure.  This saves them money and often allows the retention of valued architectural features.

Links Bridges Ramp

The ramps was constructed after the bridge was installed due to the repair work needed to the boardwalk/footers in that area.

Why Links Bridges is a Cost-Effective Solution?

Links Bridges Bridge is made of 100% Fiberglass – one of the world’s strongest and most durable building materials.  This bridge really will out-perform any alternative as follows:

  • Longevity – Our bridges are built to last 75+ years.  That includes proven resistance to rotting or deterioration from the effects of UV, moisture, freezing.
  • Maintenance – Virtually none required.
  • Ease of installation – Bridges are delivered in one piece ready for installation.
  • Appearance – The bridge will retain its natural appearance for decades – no rot, rust or other deterioration.
  • Environmental –  All materials are inert so they do not have any negative impacts on the environment.

We invite you to check out our track record of supplying bridges that meet and exceed buyer’s expectations.  The following link takes you to a map of North American bridge installations. https://linksbridges.com/our-customers/

You may be able to find a less expensive bridge that uses inferior materials but the truth about the alternative is the following:

  • It will cost more to install.
  • Maintenance costs over its (shorter) life span will be higher.
  • It won’t look as good.

There is no doubt that the 100% Fiberglass Bridge will cost less in the longer term.
