While it has been a challenging year for the construction industry, bridges in the Middle East region are still being built in far greater numbers than ever before. As the Middle East develops, the number of technical and design challenges for bridge construction also increases. Bridges Middle East 2010 will offer a platform for all stakeholders in the value chain, from bridge design and planning to construction and maintenance, to discuss and exchange best practices and ensure the quality, safety, sustainability and durability of the next generation of bridges.
