Greetings!
TRB is co-sponsoring a web briefing or "webinar" on February 16, 2012, from 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. EST that will explore a project conducted by SHRP 2 that focuses on accelerated bridge construction (ABC). Part 1 held in January 2012, discussed the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) ABC toolbox that was developed under project R04: Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal. The February Part 2 webinar will describe how the toolbox was used in two bridge construction pilot projects. The first project, built in 2011, was the US 6 Bridge over Keg Creek in Iowa, which used prefabricated elements to conduct a bridge placement with only a 14-day road closure. The second project, to be let in 2012, is the I-84 Bridge over Dingle Ridge Road in New York, in which two adjacent bridges carrying I-84 will be laterally slid into place each over a weekend. Learn how the standard plans and details in the toolbox have been used to ensure success on these projects. There is no fee to register for the webinar, and one professional development hour will be provided. You can register for the webinar on the following page. Please direct questions about this webinar to abc@fiu.edu.
