Infrastructure Improvements

The need to rehabilitate existing highways has become a necessity and a priority for transportation authorities due to the advanced service life of many of these facilities and steady increases in traffic volumes. Also, as a result of updated design codes, and deteriorating physical conditions, many existing bridge structures have also exceeded their useful life.
