A vehicle supporting guideway is presented, the guideway is comprised of upper horizontal stringers, lower horizontal stringers vertically oriented diagonal members affixed to the upper and lower horizontal stringers and horizontally oriented diagonal members are affixed between the lower horizontal stringers. These features present a guideway having an upwardly extending U-shape construction which can be supplied with wheel supporting channels, and upper support channels. The entire structure is reinforced by ribs which are generally within the horizontal stringers, and the entire guideway may be enclosed by a cover. Overlapping members join adjacent sections of the horizontal stringers together. A method of installation includes (1) installing a plurality of posts; (2) positioning a guideway section over one of the posts; (3) lowering the guideway section and clamping it to the post; (4) affixing lower extended overlapping members to the guideway section; (5) repeating steps 2-4 above on adjacent posts; (6) resting the subsequent section on the overlapping members; and (7) affixing lower extended overlapping members to said guideway section and resting these overlapping members on the subsequent section.
