Mike, the termites are becoming a problem here too and the only alternative for a bridge this long is steel.

It might be worthwhile applying some sump oil onto those bridge timber planks , every 6 months . Keep the termites at bay .

A chap down the road here made a access bridge for his property by felling a huge tree and placing it across the creek , he owned a D8 dozer at the time. The shire placed a sign on the road stating that "use this bridge at your own risk , its not our fault if you fall " . They said nothing about the huge tree he felled ! figure that out
