Kudos to LHTAC’s Safety Team and their innovative approach to funding guardrail projects. The most recent project was featured in the FHWA Innovator Magazine.
Highway agencies in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Idaho combined the benefits of the Every Day Counts innovations on project bundling and reducing rural roadway departures to make their roads safer for drivers while using resources cost-effectively.

Description:
GRS-IBS is an innovation to help reduce bridge construction time and cost. GRS-IBS projects can be built in weeks instead of months, due to the ease of construction and the use of readily available materials and equipment. Reduced construction schedule translates into less exposure around work zones improving safety. Idaho has adopted GRS-IBS as a focus for the state.
Learn more about GRS-IBS Bridge construction during this 2.5-hour webinar hosted by LHTAC and HMH Engineering. Webinar will include pictures and video from the recent construction of Ruby Creek Bridge #3 in Boundary County, Idaho.
