Plastic Bridges Support Tanks

Plastic Bridges Support Tanks
Nelson Hernandez III

The United States Army plans to be putting a new, environmentally friendly technique of bridge building in effect. As appose to standard concrete and wooded bridges traditionally use to make bridges, scientists say that new plastic bridges can be used for military uses. These new bridges are mostly made out of old recycled detergent bottles and car bumpers. The older styles of bridges were expensive and took to long to manufacture. With these new plastic bridges, the military can now make them effectively without spending a ton of money. The bridges are usually used to get across rough terrain and rives that normally couldn’t be crossed. They are made of polyethylene and the plastic from the bottles. The result from mixing these chemicals is a super strong material that can withstand the weight of a seventy-three ton tank! It also requires a lot less regular maintenance which saves the government millions!
