UMaine Collaboration with U.S. DOT

The University of Maine & US DOT ARPA-I (Advanced Research Projects Agency – Infrastructure) have embarked on a collaborative research project: X-BRIDGE (eXceptional Bridges through Innovative Design and Groundbreaking Engineering).

This project – focused on designing corrosion free bridges that can be deployed in half the time, at half the cost, and lasts twice as long – is reimagining the future of infrastructure by leveraging advanced materials, innovative design, and cutting-edge data systems to improve resilience, extend lifespan, and reduce costs across the nation’s transportation network. This groundbreaking project has recently been featured in three national articles. Find out more below!
