Staged bridge construction is a complex and interdisciplinary process that requires meticulous planning, coordination, and comprise among stakeholders. TRB will host a webinar on Friday, November 15, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will focus on the broad and occasionally diverging objectives stakeholders may prioritize on complex, staged bridge construction projects. Presenters will identify common priorities of bridge users, owners, designers, and contractors and explore strategies to effectively coordinate these priorities.
This webinar is 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 is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Construction of Bridges and Structures.
