Description: | TRB is cosponsoring the 2014 National Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) Conference on December 4-5, 2014, in Miami, Florida. The conference will be designed to focus on pre-fabricated bridge elements, systems, and technologies that will allow accelerating construction of bridges using various materials and techniques. ABC helps to significantly reduce traffic disruptions to motorists, as roadwork is done in a fraction of the time and long-term work zones can be avoided. Because exposure to work zones is reduced, safety for the traveling public and construction workers is improved (refer to http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/wz/construction/accelerated/index.htm#abc for more information). ABC projects successfully completed in the United States and internationally will be discussed at the Conference. Several ABC workshops will be held on December 3, one day prior to the conference. Individuals or groups wishing to present at the meeting must submit an abstract by April 28, 2014. |
