National Bridge Management, Inspection, and Preservation Conference: Beyond the Short Term

Save the date for the National Bridge Management, Inspection, and Preservation Conference, to be held October 31–November 4, 2011, in St. Louis, Missouri. Sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in conjunction with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO) Transportation System Preservation Technical Services Program (TSP•2), the conference will focus on how to manage the Nation’s bridges beyond the short term.

Building upon FHWA’s 2007 National Bridge Preservation Workshop, the event will feature separate tracks on “Effective Use of Bridge Management Systems,” “Making the Case for Bridge Preservation” and “Next Generation Bridge Inspection.” Attendees can also register for optional preconference workshops on Bridge Life Cycle Cost Analysis and the Bridge Inspection Nondestructive Evaluation Showcase, to be held October 31, 2011.

More details on the conference will be available this spring at www.tsp2.org/bridge. For additional information, contact Shyan–Yung Pan at FHWA, 202–366–1567 (email: shyan.pan@fhwa.dot.gov).
