Our nation is facing an infrastructure crisis. More than 220,000 bridges in the U.S., representing 36 percent of the national bridge inventory, need major repair work or should be replaced. To responsibly fix our nation’s bridges with cost-effective and sustainable solutions, the future must start today. With new innovative materials, designs, and protection systems available, the American steel industry is well positioned to build bridges that will last well into the next century – and possibly beyond.

The National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA) and Short Span Steel Bridge Alliance (SSSBA) are co-hosting a six-part webinar series for bridge owners, designers, faculty and students to provide educational information and certificates of completion to kick off your summer. A distinguished panel of industry experts has been assembled to present. The six webinars (Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week) are free of charge and will cover topics essential to the design and installation of steel bridges.
