Transportation Infrastructure:
The Transportation Infrastructure Durability Conference is the University of Maineโs no cost annual forum for all things at the forefront of transportation innovation, this year with a focus on the UMaine / U.S. DOT ARPA-I (Advanced Research Projects Agency – Infrastructure) collaborative project: X-BRIDGE (eXceptional Bridges through Innovative Design and Groundbreaking Engineering).
X-BRIDGE is a corrosion free bridge system. The goal is to construct bridge superstructures in half the time, at half the cost, and with twice the lifespan with minimal maintenance cost.
