What is the Midwest Bridge Preservation Partnership (MWBPP)?
The Midwest Bridge Preservation Partnership is a regional forum comprised of bridge practitioners from State and Local Agencies, Contractors, Suppliers, Academia, and Federal Government Officials in a sharing of bridge preservation practices throughout the Midwest Region. The gathering provides a forum to discuss bridge preservation strategies, including treatments; management; inspection; improvements in research, design, specifications, and materials; and to promote the benefits of Bridge Preservation through education and application.
