In November, NDLTAP launched "Bridge 101," a training to help blade operators, truck drivers, road superintendents, and county, city and township officials learn about bridge basics. Participants who completed the course learned about the key elements of bridges and gained an understanding of scour surveys, alert codes, loading factors, maintenance best practices, load limits, signing requirements, bridge inspection, failure modes and other topics. The day-long course included classroom training and an on-site bridge inspection. The new course was offered in Ellendale and Bottineau.
