Knovel Solutions in Aging Infrastructure: Rebuilding the Lake Champlain BridgeDo you know that 25% of the nearly 600,000 bridges in the United States have structural problems or outdated design? The American Society of Civil Engineers has estimated that the US government needs to spend $1.6 trillion over the next 5 years to fix our aging, dilapidated infrastructure.

The Lake Champlain Bridge was recently demolished due to severe structural deterioration and unsafe conditions. Because of the high unplanned cost and concern for the safety of many bridges throughout the United States with similar design, the replacement of Lake Champlain Bridge has received national attention. Knovel analyzes the cause of problems in the Lake Champlain Bridge and suggests how these problems could be addressed in the New Bridge. ow Have You Used Knovel to Help Solve a Problem?
