The study presents an engineering solution for maintaining traffic flow during road and utility operations, such as trench excavation. The analysis of existing organizational and technical approaches, along with global experience in temporary bridge use, showed that most foreign analogs were developed for military purposes and are not fully suitable for urban conditions in Kazakhstan and CIS countries. As an alternative solution, the development of a mobile overpass adapted for operation in dense urban environments is proposed. The present study continues earlier research focused on optimizing the placement of mobile overpass supports while accounting for the nonlinear deformation behavior of the soil foundation. At the previous stage, a rational distance between the supports and the trench edge was substantiated, and horizontal soil deformations were reduced. In the current study, the primary focus is on the design of the undercarriage, which determines the mobility, stability, and operational feasibility of the structure. A morphological analysis and synthesis method is applied to select a rational configuration of the undercarriage. A 3D model and a 1:4 scale test bench were developed, followed by load tests of 50–200 kg. The maximum deflection of −1.19 mm at 200 kg demonstrated an almost linear deformation pattern. The constructed regression model (R2=0.97) confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the design. The developed mobile overpass is versatile, cost-effective, and practical, improving the resilience of urban transport infrastructure, reducing traffic congestion during roadworks, and creating a foundation for serial production in Kazakhstan and CIS countries.
