The U.S. bridge infrastructure is aging, with over 600,000 bridges and 1 in 9 rated as structurally deficient. The average bridge age is 43 years, exceeding the designed lifespan of 50 years, raising safety concerns. Federal, state, and local investments are not keeping up with the growing costs to repair or replace deficient bridges, which is estimated at $76 billion for deficient bridges alone. Opportunities exist for Finnish companies in structural health monitoring systems, sensors, wireless monitoring systems, coatings to prevent corrosion from road salt, and specialized machinery for difficult bridge construction and repair projects.
