Infrastructure and the Built Environment

Staged bridge construction is a complex and interdisciplinary process that requires meticulous planning, coordination, and comprise among stakeholders. TRB hosted a webinar on Friday, November 15, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that focused on the broad and occasionally diverging objectives stakeholders may prioritize on complex, staged bridge construction projects. Presenters identified common priorities of bridge users, owners, designers, and contractors and explore strategies to effectively coordinate these priorities.

This webinar was a follow on to 2024 TRB Annual Meeting Workshop 1054: Stage That Bridge: Balancing Owner, Designer, Community, and Contractor Priorities on Complex Bridge Construction Projects.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Construction of Bridges and Structures.

The slides are available. Please contact trbwebinar@nas.edu for a link to the recording. There may be a $90 fee.
