Industry Day will showcase deployable technologies and practical pathways to implementation for improving bridge safety, assessment and management while addressing adoption barriers. Presentations will include a mix of emerging and existing technologies without widespread penetration among bridge owners in the United States.

This national forum will bring together leaders from federal, state, city, and county transportation agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, industry, academia, and technology developers to accelerate the deployment of innovative bridge technologies across the United States.

This event is organized as part of the Advanced Bridge Technology Clearinghouse (ABTC) initiative, a cooperative agreement between USDOT and Rutgers CAIT to accelerate the implementation of innovative bridge technologies.
