FRP Bridges for Grandfather Golf and Country Club

Project Overview

Arete Structures supplied (5) custom FRP bridges for the Grandfather Golf and Country Club in Linville NC. The bridges were fabricated at Arete Structures in Blowing Rock North Carolina and then delivered to the Grandfather Golf and Country Club where they were assembled and erected by Summers Taylor Inc. The project was completed in the spring of 2020, and the contractor reported that they enjoyed working with the lightweight FRP material. These bridges are brown with a gray pultruded FRP grating for the decking.
