Every Day Counts Round 6 (EDC-6) began in January 2021 and UHPC for Bridge Preservation and Repair (P&R) was one of the seven innovations being deployed. The purpose of EDC-6 deployment is to promote and facilitate the use of UHPC by bridge owners to strengthen, repair, and preserve existing bridges. While EDC-6 formally ended at the conclusion of December 2022, we continue to provide updates on this topic.
