Recently, I visited a friend's farm in Illinois. He got in touch with a mobile home dealer and found out where they disassemble and dispose of old mobile homes. He purchased a chassis with wheels intact. He towed it home with his pick-up truck and dragged it across his creek. He unbolted the wheels and axles and bolted walmanized lumber for decking. He just sat the frame on the ground and it eventually settled in. It works very well. He drives his bulldozer over it. I think he gave $50 or $100 for the frame and bought the lumber from the local lumber yard. The frame is about 7 or 8 feet wide and his decking is 10 feet wide. His finished bridge is about 42 feet long, but you could cut it to whatever length you need. I am in the process of finding a salvage yard in Kentucky and trying it myself. I will cut oak off of the farm and cut it up with my sawmill.
