Association for Bridge Construction and Design - Western New York Chapter

The turn of the new year found the ABCD Western New York Chapter having two events planned. The first involved a monthly meeting at the Wishing Well in Rochester, NY on January 21. We would like to thank Chris Ligozio of the CTL Group for presenting a program entailing “Assessing and Extending the Service Life of Bridges.” For the second event, on January 29, ABCD held a student outreach event with Rochester Institute of Technology that included a pre-game Pizza and wing party and watching the RIT Tigers beat the Bentley Falcons 4-1.

As some may have noticed, the Western New York ABCD website has undergone some major changes in the past year and a number of new features have been added. The biggest change is the ability for members to access and edit their personal information and the ability to register and pay for ABCD events online starting with the Fall Conference.

The Association for Bridge Construction and Design would like to welcome everyone to attend our 21st annual fall conference: Building our Bridges to the Future - The Battle Against Time. This year's program is loaded with exciting presentations ranging from billion dollar, multi-state reconstruction contracts to first of its kind construction techniques. Participants seeking PDH credits can collect up to 6.5 credits in this full day conference.

IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN, this year’s conference theme seeks to highlight how it’s good practice to incorporate concepts and technologies that are friendly to Mother Earth when engineering transportation projects, but being green is not always as easy as it sounds.
