Lecture 1 - Tuesday, October 6, 2015
The State of Wicked Fast Bridge Construction
All of the New England States have constructed WFBC projects and several states have instituted Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) programs.  The design community has adapted to these new technologies using resources made available by owner agencies, industry, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).  The benefits of ABC or WFBC have been well documented by FHWA and others.  The primary benefits include higher quality, improved safety through reduced exposure of workers and travelers to work zones, reduced mobility impacts to the traveling public, and reduced impact to the environment. This presentation will provide an overview of how the New England States are implementing WFBC, and cover topics such as decision making process, prefabricated bridge elements, bridge system installations, accelerated project delivery and ABC tolerances.
