Abstract: An improved dry bridge kit, composed of individual bridge bays of cross-sectional U-shape and of a cross-sectionally H-shaped traversing beam, the improvement comprising that the bridge bays are composed of a central part and of two side parts, the side parts containing hollow parallelipipedic track ways, and being foldable for transport underneath the central part. When launching the bridge, first the traversing beam is assembled and launched and then the individual bridge segments are coupled together and moved over the tranversing beam. The traversing beam remains as a bridge support element.
