Since 1994 we have collaborated with the New York State Department of Transportation Structures Division to present a conference about bridge issues for local governments. This Conference is intended for county, city, town, and village highway officials in New York State who maintain and rehabilitate local bridges. Consultants, contractors, and suppliers are also welcome.

Communicating the work of the Highway Department to the public can be challenging. To make it easier, we’ve developed 15 infographics designed to help bridge the gap and enhance public understanding of what we do.
