Bridges that resist the rust
November 15, 2010 /
At first glance, the bridge being built over the Little River does not look high-tech. Covered with concrete and surrounded by dirt, it looks like any other bridge construction site.
But the view from below is distinctive. The bridge rests on dark gray, tubular arches made of a lightweight plastic strengthened by carbon fibers. The tubes are filled with concrete that is protected from the elements. The design is meant to ward off corrosion, the bane of bridges.
