The Bridge Preservation Partnerships are regional forums of bridge professionals— from state agencies, contractors, suppliers, consultants, academia, plus local and federal government agencies—all working together to take advantage of the synergy to be gained from sharing information and identifying common issues for further investigation.

The Partnerships—Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Western— each share and publicize information describing improvements in research, materials, design, specifications, construction, management and inspection for preservation, and promote the benefits of bridge preservation through education and outreach.

This year’s National conference will include all four regional partnerships in one meeting. There will be three concurrent tracks with over 60 technical presentations, outdoor demonstrations of bridge preservation treatments and technology, and countless opportunities to network with bridge preservation practitioners from around the country.
