The Focus article on page 8 is about Eriksson Technologies and
discusses the use of Eriksson Software’s Sync technology for
the Teterboro Airport air traffic control tower project. This is a
link to an overview of Eriksson Sync—an innovative technology
that provides a critical two-way interface between engineering
design software and building information modeling models.

The first link leads to a website that provides information
about the Glass City Riverwalk project to revitalize a
section of riverfront in Toledo, Ohio. The second link leads
to a presentation about the project from the 2024 Ohio
Transportation Engineering Conference. The Project article
on page 16 is about the new Bend Bridge, an integral part
of the project that provides pedestrian access from the Glass
City Riverwalk to the Martin Luther King Jr. Bridge, linking
both sides of the Maumee River.

The Florida Department of Transportation website for the
Southern Boulevard Bridge can be found at this link. The
Project article on page 20 discusses the design and construction
of the continuous, cast-in-place, longitudinally and transversely
post-tensioned slabs that form the approach spans for this
bridge replacement project connecting West Palm Beach,
Fla., across Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway, to the barrier island town of Palm Beach.

The project to replace the Interstate 5 bridge over SW 26th
Avenue in Portland, Ore., used an innovative structure type
and construction method to minimize disruptions to the
traveling public and enhance safety. The Project article on
page 26 describes how the value-engineering concept for
the bridge incorporated a new, single-span, buried structure
under the in-service, existing bridge, without shifting the
alignment and without affecting interstate traffic. This is
a link to a time-lapse video of the weekend closure that
brought the replacement structure in service.

This is a link to the Epoxy Interest Group’s (EIG’s) webpage
about the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute’s Epoxy-
Coating Plant Certification and the Certification for
Fabrication of Epoxy-Coated Reinforcement. The NCBC Member Spotlight article on page 44 highlights these
programs in relation to EIG’s commitment to improve the
quality and performance of epoxy-coated reinforcement.

The Concrete Bridge Technology article on page 32
summarizes the key findings and recommendations
from National Cooperative Highway Research Program
(NCHRP) Research Report 1026, Guidelines for Adjacent
Precast Concrete Box Beam Bridge Systems, which can be
downloaded using the first link. The report discusses shear
key solutions for adjacent prestressed concrete box-beam
bridges that can enhance the durability and service life of
these structures. The slides from a webinar on the same topic
are available at the second link.
