One of the most dynamic and growing facets of the construction industry in the United States involves the work of bridge and highway construction, as well as bridge and highway repair and rehabilitation. And what these types of projects have in common is the requirement for highway and bridge construction equipment and highway and bridge […]
Large-scale highway construction can be a somewhat high-risk endeavor, given the size of the equipment used and the sheer number of workers and equipment. However, even smaller-sized road work projects have a degree of risk. And this holds true for all highway work and construction projects, given the presence of automobile and truck traffic during […]

A bridge in Greece, for example, is purported to be the oldest bridge […]
Bridge and highway construction in the United States is poised to enter a new era with the recent passage of the federal government’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. The need for new and rehabilitated bridges, highways, roads, and other infrastructure is certainly not new. As IBIS World noted earlier this year in response to the recently […]
