Bretton Woods Project Overview
Located in the secluded area of Mt. Washington, part of the White Mountain National Forest, lies York Bridge Concepts’ recent addition to the resort – a 90′ long timber pedestrian bridge. The use of timber structures, as the environmentally friendly option built from a renewable resource, is no longer
a dream. Our Decero™ Design team has revolutionized old-school ‘timber bridges’ to stunning, modern pieces of enduring architecture. Spanning
the Ammonoosuc River – skiers, pedestrians and snowmobile traffic cross this iconic structure – a true showcase of our approach to design.
