New York’s St. Lawrence County DOT has attracted the attention of the FHWA…in a good way. The agency has built 5 Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) bridge abutments since last fall, and the sixth will be the subject of a Florida film crew hired by the FHWA. The footage will be shown at various meetings leading up the the creation of a new technical manual on the building of GRS bridge structures which are a cheap and rapidly constructible solution to crumbling bridges in these difficult economic times.
