A new monthly seminar series offered online by the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) National Highway Institute (NHI) features guest speakers discussing challenges they have faced in the field and the innovative solutions used to address those challenges. The free Real Solutions Seminar Series also offers participants the opportunity to ask questions during the seminars.
Topics featured in FHWA's Real Solutions Seminar Series include the use of self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) for ultra-rapid bridge construction. The SPMTs shown here were used to replace the 4500 South bridge in Salt Lake City, UT, in a single weekend. |
