New Bridge Funding Formula Has States Investing in Repair, Replacement of Aging Spans

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

It is predicted that the next two years will be solid ones for contractors taking on bridge construction projects at the state level.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for federal dollars flowing out of a new bridge formula program, state DOTs also are capitalizing on highway program funds and discretionary grants to repair and replace bridges across the country. That means more future construction.

AI Changes Investments in Machinery Purchases, Assets

Adopting AI, Automation Is About Connecting In-House Systems, Upgrading Existing Assets

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Artificial intelligence has infiltrated the fleet management world in a big way.

The technology is transforming operations and extending the life of major contractor investments in all kinds of heavy equipment, from transport systems to construction machines.

Can the infrastructure sector keep up?

Here’s a look at how AI is changing investments in both new machinery purchases to in-house asset enhancements.

Fleet management consultant Element Fleet puts it bluntly: “Fleet management technology is entering a new phase.”

The company believes AI, automation, connectivity and electrification are defining this phase. But contractors aren’t necessarily rushing to buy brand-new vehicles and machines to keep up with the competition.

“Fleet leaders are shifting from simply adding vehicles to maximizing the value of the assets they already operate,” said the consulting firm.

Fleet management firm AssetWorks agrees. “For fleet leaders, 2026 will be about adaptation,” the company said.

The year will see equipment managers turn disruption into opportunity and investing in smarter, cleaner and more connected operations, said the firm.

“The competitive edge is no longer just about access to new tools, but about integrating clean, connected fleet data,” Element Fleet said.

The goal, it said, is to integrate that data into “a unified environment that drives smarter decisions, lower downtime and measurable cost savings.”

For contractors looking to the future, “the opportunity lies in disciplined experimentation, data integration and operational redesign,” Element Fleet said.

In a recent “The Fleet” podcast episode, mobility experts Phillip Kampshoff and Dor Shay discussed critical issues for fleet managers eyeing smart technology.

Kampshoff is co-founder of McKinsey’s Center for Future Mobility, and Shay is CTO for Element Mobility and Autofleet.

Historically for contractors, fleet growth automatically meant adding more vehicles. Today, it’s about getting the most out of the contractor’s current assets.

With AI, automation and connectivity, fleets can squeeze value out of every vehicle and every mile without automatically driving up costs, Element Fleet said.

Shay recalled trying to decide where to move vehicles and watching people “drawing arrows on a Microsoft painter application.”

Six months later, he said, “we were able to completely automate the entire workflow.”

Element Fleet believes the promise of connectivity and automation is not replacing fleet leaders but elevating them.

Hot-Button Tech Continues March Into Mainstream

Fleet electrification is advancing rapidly, say the two mobility consultants, despite the fact that adoption is uneven globally.

“For fleet leaders, the key is disciplined evaluation, not blind acceleration,” Kampshoff and Shay said.

They noted that battery costs continue to decline, which in turn steadily improves the long-term economics of fleet electrification.

In 2026, more fleets will scale electric light- and medium-duty vehicles across delivery, municipal and service operations, believes AssetWorks.

“At the same time, hydrogen and renewable fuels are growing as complementary options,” said the consulting firm. “Batteryelectric technology still struggles with heavy loads and long routes, but hydrogen offers potential for high-capacity and regional haul applications.”

To manage the transition, AssetWorks contractor clients are turning to connected software. They look for programs that track charging schedules, energy use and total cost of ownership across mixed-fuel fleets.

Those insights are essential for scaling electrification efficiently, AssetWorks said.

Kampshoff and Shay noted that infrastructure remains one of the biggest hurdles to electrification.

“In many markets, charging capacity is limited, and demand changes can quickly complicate the business case,” they said.

That tension between falling vehicle costs and infrastructure constraints can make planning feel uncertain for equipment managers.

The men believe that contractors who operate fleets from centralized depots have “a clearer path” forward.

“Their energy demand is more predictable, which makes charging schedules easier to model and optimize.”

And when infrastructure is approached strategically, electrification becomes more about designing a system that works for a specific operating model.

Data Continues to Drive Smart Technology Journey

“The fleets that thrive in 2026 will be the ones turning data into action,” AssetWorks stressed in a blog post.

It noted that telematics systems now cap-

ture vehicle diagnostics, driver behavior and route performance in real time.

“Advanced analytics can turn that information into measurable savings,” the fleet management consultant said.

Predictive maintenance is one of the biggest payoffs, the blog post continued.

By analyzing sensor data, fleets can spot early warning signs like vibration changes or rising engine temperatures before they lead to downtime.

Today, AI-powered analytics are already optimizing routes, improving driver safety and reducing idle time.

What once required spreadsheets and intuition, noted AssetWorks, is now driven by data models that continuously learn and improve. As a result, fleet managers have at their disposal a powerful new lens for decision-making.

Decisions based on data such as routing patterns, duty cycles, driver behavior, climate impact and battery sizing influence the total cost of ownership.

Kampshoff and Shay said in the podcast that without integrated data, fleets risk overbuilding infrastructure or underestimating operational needs.

Element Fleet stresses that if there’s one immediate opportunity for fleets, it’s integration.

Shay recalled a case where two production systems were gathering data. But they were unconnected, so a human manually transferred information between them.

“By integrating the data, we were able to see a 70-percent reduction in fleet downtime,” Shay said. “Seventy percent is huge.”

That level of impact didn’t require new vehicles or experimental technology. It required better data flow, he concluded.

As AI tools become widely available and large language models level the playing field, the competitive edge won’t be the tech itself, Shay and Kampshoff said.

The edge will be data that is clean, connected and all in one place. Without that foundation, AI becomes a “party trick” instead of a profit driver, they said.

AI and automation, now standards in fleet management, can predict delivery delays, reroute vehicles and generate compliance documentation, AssetWorks noted.

“Semi-autonomous vehicle technology is slowly entering real-world use in closed environments like ports and distribution yards,” the company said.

“For most fleets, however, automation’s immediate value comes from administrative efficiency — reducing manual data entry, scheduling and reporting.”

These tools don’t replace human expertise, said AssetWorks; they amplify it, by elimi-

nating repetitive work. As a result, managers and technicians can focus on improving performance, safety and service quality.

Kampshoff and Shay urged fleet leaders to start smart technology integration with three fundamentals:

• Consolidate data into a unified architecture.

• Train the broader organization (not just a small data team) on how to use AI tools.

• Tie pilots directly to P&L impact and scaling plans.

Fleet leaders face a delicate balance: Move too fast, and you risk investing in immature technology. Move too slowly, and competitors pass you by, Fleet Element said.

The answer may be disciplined experimentation, Shay said. “The cost of experimentation isn’t just the software,” he said. “It’s the organizational buy-in and resources required to make it work. It’s not easy to secure.”

But, he said, if you get it right, the upside is significantly greater because you gain a first-mover advantage.

Kampshoff and Shay suggest equipment managers focus on fleet technologies, such as software, telematics and dispatch automation.

These technologies often deliver faster ROI and lower switching costs compared with vehicle technologies. That’s because vehicle technologies such as electrification and autonomous platforms are capital-intensive.

These technologies also are slower to move from prototype to finished product or release of subsequent versions, versus fleet technologies, they said.

“For many fleet operators, optimizing routing, dispatch, vehicle utilization and downtime may generate more immediate value than upgrading powertrains.”

Element Fleet suggests fleet leaders prioritize future technology investments, starting with integration before expansion.

Fleet operations have historically been fragmented, said AssetWorks. Fuel systems in one platform, maintenance in another, financial data in spreadsheets.

Integration has become the key to efficiency this year, said the consulting firm. Modern fleet management platforms now connect telematics, work orders, inventory and financial systems under one digital roof.

“That real-time visibility lets managers spot trends, reduce redundancy and react faster to changing conditions,” according to the AssetWorks blog post.

Integration also unlocks better reporting when emissions data, maintenance records and costs are tied together, it stressed.

Florida Delivers Congestion Relief Through Major Projects

months early.

Through the Moving Florida Forward initiative, FDOT completed and advanced several large construction efforts designed to reduce congestion and support Florida’s growing population in 2025.

New congestion relief lanes opened on I-4 in April, eight months early. The project added one lane in each direction from U.S. 27 in Polk County to World Drive in Osceola County, providing immediate travel time improvements for more than 140,000 daily drivers.

FDOT continued major construction at the Golden Glades Interchange, with nearly half of drainage and bridge foundation work complete. The project remains one year ahead of schedule and will ultimately add 32 new bridges and improve freight connectivity to South Florida’s ports and airports.

Construction began in February on the I-75 Auxiliary Lanes project in Ocala, which will add 31 mi. of new lanes and was advanced by 10 to 15 years. In August, FDOT also broke ground on the I-2 75 widening project in Pinellas County, which will add two express lanes and improve access to the Tampa region.

Statewide Infrastructure Investments

FDOT completed several major construction projects that expand roadway capacity and modernize critical infrastructure across Florida.

• The NASA Causeway Bridge opened in March, six months early. The new 4,025 ft. bridge eliminates drawbridge openings and supports increasing spaceport traffic.

• The Howard Frankland Bridge Replacement opened to traffic in March. The project increased capacity by 50 percent and improved evacuation access for the Tampa Bay region.

• Suncoast Parkway Phase 2 was completed in August, more than a year ahead of schedule, adding four new lanes across 3 mi. in Citrus County.

• Nearly 20 mi. of the First Coast Expressway opened last summer in Clay County. When finished, the expressway will provide 46 mi. of new high speed roadway between Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties.

• The U.S. 1 Jupiter Bridge replacement opened in April with additional lanes, sidewalks and bike lanes, and is expected to reduce bridge openings by 44 percent.

• The I-75 at U.S. 301 Interchange Improvement Project in Manatee County was completed in October, converting the previous interchange into a diverging diamond design and widening approach lanes.

• The U.S. 90 Bridge over the Simpson River in Santa Rosa County was replaced in July. The new structure includes two travel lanes in each direction and bike lanes.

• FDOT broke ground in June on the DuPont Bridge Replacement, which will add four lanes, sidewalks and bike lanes. The upgraded structure will improve access for Tyndall Air Force Base and support larger vessel construction in Bay County.

Resiliency, Community Infrastructure

FDOT continued infrastructure improvements that enhance resiliency and protect communities.

• The S.R. A1A Seawall Project in Volusia County was completed, adding two 1.3 mi. buried seawalls beneath restored dunes.

• In Monroe County, FDOT built the first pump station with deep injection wells in the Florida Keys, raised roadway elevations to address flooding and reconstructed the beach promenade.

• The I-75 Alligator Alley Rest Area and Environmental Education Center opened in Broward County, adding new public facilities including an observation tower, exhibits and boardwalks.

Bobcat Unveils Its Next Evolution of Compact Loaders

Bobcat Company introduced the next evolution of its compact loader lineup at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026. The newly enhanced lineup delivers more choice, more control and more operator-ready technology across the company’s compact loader portfolio.

As the industry continues to shift, with 41 percent of the United States construction workforce projected to retire by 2031, according to a report by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, Bobcat is introducing solutions to support operators of every experience level through intuitive controls, smarter systems and simplified operation.

“Nearly 70 years ago, Bobcat introduced the world’s first compact loader, defining an entirely new way to work on the jobsite,” said Mike Ballweber, president of Doosan Bobcat North America Inc. “This evolution of Bobcat loaders builds on that legacy by pairing the power and durability our customers expect with intelligence and simplicity designed for a changing workforce.”

Two Paths, One Purpose

Bobcat has realigned its lineup into two distinct compact loader categories, classic and pro, making it easier to choose the right machine for different operation needs and applications.

Classic: performance and familiar controls

Classic loaders deliver Bobcat performance with familiar controls and competitive pricing, ideal for landscapers, rental fleets and general construction applications.

Classic models include:

• compact track loaders: T450, T595, T650 and T770.

• skid-steer loaders: S70, S450, S590, S650 and S770.

Operators benefit from classic Bobcat controllability using either selectable joystick controls (SJC) or optional hand and foot controls, along with two-speed travel, automatic ride control, keyless ignition and a deluxe display with optional integrated rear camera.

Pro: advanced technology, agility and intelligence

Bobcat pro loaders bring control, performance and technology advancements.

Pro models include:

• compact track loaders: T64-2, T66-2, T76-2 and T86-2.

• skid-steer loaders: S64-2, S66-2, S76-2 and S86-2.

Key pro advancements include:

• Four drive modes with enhanced control software that deliver greater precision and responsiveness tailored to operator preference and application.

• Balanced: smooth, predictable response for precise work that requires steady control

— ideal for grading, material placement and confined job sites.

• Agile: a versatile mode designed for everyday operation, providing responsive control across a wide range of tasks and mixed applications.

• Dynamic: sharper acceleration and quicker response for high-productivity work where faster cycle times and confident control are essential.

• Charged: maximum responsiveness and speed for experienced operators working in open areas, enabling high-productivity work with precise control.

• Strategic weight reductions and structural optimizations increase agility while maintaining performance.

• Redesigned electrical systems for improved reliability in demanding work environments.

• An elevated operator experience featuring refreshed interiors, heated air-ride seats, added storage and an intuitive 8-in. touchscreen display with infotainment and an integrated rear camera.

Among the newly evolved pro loaders, the T86-2 and S86-2 set a new benchmark with 115 hp and a 12-ft. lift height, giving operators the strength and capability to take on their toughest jobs.

“One of the major drivers of our loader evolution is accelerating the pace of innovation across our lineup,” said Brad Claus, Bobcat senior vice president of North America construction equipment. “With our

shift from series to categories, we will release innovations more frequently at the model level, without waiting for an entirely new series to launch. And with new technologies in place, we can deliver meaningful updates to customers more often.”

Building on this evolution, Bobcat is introducing new integrated technology options designed to further simplify operation, elevate jobsite awareness and help operators of every skill level work more confidently and efficiently.

Bobcat’s Newest Technology Options

Bobcat is expanding its portfolio of smart, operator-focused solutions with Jobsite Companion, the first AI-enabled solution in the compact equipment industry, and its new jobsite awareness suite of operator-awareness tools powered by camera- and radarbased technologies.

Jobsite Companion

Available as an option on pro loaders in the United States, Jobsite Companion simplifies machine operation with voice commands, automated attachment settings and real-time jobsite insights — allowing operators to keep hands on the controls while automating more than 50 machine functions. Its built-in job cost dashboard turns hours into insight by tracking operation cost compared to job estimates to improve profit.

Jobsite Awareness Systems

Available as optional features on pro load-

ers in the United States and Canada, Bobcat is introducing operator-awareness technology options through camera- and radar-based systems.

Bobcat View camera options are available on pro loaders, offering either a rear view or a broad-area view that covers the rear and sides of the machine.

Bobcat also is introducing Bobcat Sense detection systems, which offers two additional detection options:

• Rear object detection and avoidance: A radar-based system that detects objects and people behind the machine and can alert the operator or automatically slow or stop the loader.

• 360 people detection: This camerabased system identifies and alerts operators to the presence of people around the machine without intervening in machine motion.

These technologies provide added awareness on demanding job sites, giving operators more information to maneuver confidently and stay focused on the job.

“This launch isn’t just about new machines, it’s about how people work,” said Claus. “By giving operators more choice, more control and smarter technology, we’re building equipment that adapts alongside the workforce and the job sites of tomorrow.”

The newly enhanced loader models will be available at select North American dealerships beginning summer 2026.

Data Integration Can Reduce Downtime

Organizations gain a full picture of their performance and can make decisions that balance sustainability with profitability.

“Many fleets can unlock significant value by connecting existing systems, improving data quality and eliminating manual workflows, Element Fleet said.

“Once your data is unified, evaluate higher-cost investments such as electrification or autonomous pilots,” Kampshoff and Shay said.

But, they said, evaluate them based on total cost of ownership, operational impact and scalability.

To prepare for the year ahead, AssetWorks suggests fleet leaders:

• Audit operations to assess emissions, efficiency and asset health.

• Pilot new technologies such as EVs, hydrogen or predictive maintenance tools.

• Invest in integration to unify data across departments.

• Engage employees early to ensure successful adoption of new systems.

• Plan for compliance by mapping upcoming emissions and reporting requirements.

“2026 will reward proactive, data-driven decision-making,” the fleet management firm said.

“The fleets that see change not as disruption but as opportunity” will set the standard for the next era of transportation and logistics, it said.

Schweiss Hydraulic Door Hides in Plain Sight

At first glance, it may look like the luxury villa located in Miami’s Belle Meade neighborhood doesn’t even have a garage. Then suddenly, with the push of a button, one of the walls begins to swing out and up.

photo

The home in the Belle Meade neighborhood of Miami is a contemporary designed dream with natural hues and materials.

What looks like a normal exterior wall is, in fact, a hydraulic garage door from Schweiss Doors, measuring 15 ft. by 8 ft., installed to blend seamlessly with the rest of the home’s façade.

“I wanted to basically make a peek-a-boo door,” said Mirna Barake, who designed and built the house.

The hydraulic door swings out and up smoothly. For designer Mirna Barake, the door’s hydraulic components are part of the door’s charm, and she decided not to hide them in the design.

After some online research, she was led directly to Schweiss Doors. Barake worked closely with the team at Schweiss, including Brent and Jeremy from the sales team, to engineer and build the perfect door to fit her vision.

The door is covered with a stylish blond composite wood cladding to match the design exterior aesthetic of

the rest of the house.

On the interior of the door, Barake decided not to hide the mechanical and industrial features of the hydraulic door system. The interior metal structure of the door blends nicely with the black-painted plywood while the two-hp pump and hydraulic cylinders are showcased as part of the design of the garage.

She said the weight of the door was a surprise to her. It’s a detail called out in the Schweiss Doors specifications, yet something customers should keep in mind while planning. Barake had her own team of builders installing the door and it went well.

With the weather seal kit, the door is very secure and closes tightly.

“The whole process was perfect,” Barake said, adding the Barake Design construction team did a great job of installing the door.

The process of buying, receiving and installing the Schweiss Doors hydraulic door went smoothly. Since this was Barake’s first time purchasing and installing a Schweiss door, she did learn a few things along the way.

Schweiss Doors is very familiar with the product approval process Florida requires for doors and fulfilled the requirements for approval.

Barake noted she was able to lean on the team at Schweiss Doors throughout the whole design and build process surrounding the hydraulic garage door on this Miami residence. There were plenty of calls back and forth during the process and the people at Schweiss were always happy to help. Barake was especially happy with Brent from the sales team.

“I’d call him 20,000 times and 20,000 times, he was like ‘Hey!’ and he would recognize my voice,” Barake said. “It was amazing, amazing customer service.” For more information, visit bifold.com. 

Equip Exposition Announces Strategic Two-City Rotation

Equip Exposition announced plans for a two-city rotation beginning in 2029, expanding global access with direct international air traffic and new venue choices for attendees and exhibitors as well as enhancing outdoor demonstration opportunities in its longtime host city.

Equip Exposition will be held at the Orlando County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 1012, 2029, with shows in 2031 and 2033. The trade show will be in Louisville, Ky., in 2028, 2030 and 2032.

“This rotation gives our exhibitors and attendees the best of both worlds,” said Kris Kiser, president of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, which owns and manages Equip. “Orlando has space for our members to host dealer meetings, provides additional co-location opportunities and offers expanded venue choice for exhibitor and attendee programming. The rotation also allows us to work with Louisville on enhancing their unique outdoor demo area — the only venue of its kind in the country.”

Since OPEI assumed full management of Equip Exposition in 2022, the show has experienced extraordinary growth in attendance, exhibit space and revenue — as well as award recognition. Since 2022, Equip has received 12 Grand Award nominations from Trade Show Executive magazine, and has won four, including the “Greatest Trade Show of 2024,” the “Against All Odds Award,” “Most

MarineX Makes Custom Dredge to Complete Beach Project

Netzinger told Construction Equipment Guide. “Certain micro-habitats exist on some of our beaches where the conditions are perfect for these migratory birds and the beach renourishment program actually increases the amount of habitat for both the turtles to lay eggs and sea birds to rest. They started nourishing the first beach in September 2025 and the permit window closes at the end of May. They have to be completely done with the project by the end of May.”

The timeframe is not the only challenge. Extreme weather can shut down the job, and the harsh conditions, salt water and sand call for constant maintenance.

“It’s high maintenance equipment, so there’s a lot of downtime to maintain and deal with because when you’re pumping the sand from an offshore shoal that’s six to seven miles away and pushing all that slurry through a pipe that’s anywhere between three to nine to 10 miles long, and then pumping that slurry out on the beach and moving all that sand around with construction equipment on the beach, it’s a pretty major operation.”

The need for the renourishment is determined through ongoing monitoring that takes a survey of cross sections of the beach every five to 700 ft. along the 17 mi. of managed or engineered beach, Netzinger said.

“We keep track of it over time and then when we get to the point where we feel like it’s necessary to renourish according to criteria that we have established in our policy, drop the hammer, bid the contract and award it,” he said.

The current Hilton Head renourishment program will dredge and transport 2.2 million cu. yds. of sand “from up to four offshore borrow areas along about 46,500 ft. of Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shore-

front, broken into five discrete reaches of the island shorefront,” according to the Beach Nourishment Project 2025-26 website.

Once the mix of sand and seawater is piped to shore, the seawater returns to the ocean. Bulldozers and other heavy equipment are used to construct the elevation and form of the beach with new sand. The work takes place in 1,000-ft. increments along the shoreline, impacting just roughly 2 percent of the beach at any given time throughout the operation.

“It’s a moving operation,” Netziner said. “It moves 300 to 400 feet a day, every day when it’s working. They keep a perimeter around the active work zone. They’re constantly moving the safety fencing, and they have people 24/7 that are responsible for safety and security of the site while people

are working. There’s always a safety officer on duty at all hours of the day.”

Only a handful of contractors are capable of doing this work on the Eastern Seaboard, and those who do the work are protected by federal legislation, Netzinger said. The Foreign Dredge Act of 1906 restricts foreign companies from doing the work and in order for domestic companies to qualify for the jobs, contractors must have a U.S. Coast Guard-certified dredge with the capacity to move the massive amounts of sand necessary.

“As far as I know, there’s only four or five companies that could even qualify to do the work,” Netzinger said.

The 2025-2026 Beach Renourishment Project contract was awarded to MarineX Construction Inc., a family operation head-

quartered in Charleston, S.C., and in business since 1991. The project is so specialized, companies must build their own dredges, Tyler Stubbs, MarineX senior project manager, told Construction Equipment Guide.

“Offshore big dredges are pretty rare, but each of the companies have some of them,” Stubbs said. “The kicker is no one makes them. A shipyard could build something like that, but you have to figure it out on your own. We make ours in house.”

The dredge being used on Hilton Head is a hydraulic cutter suction dredge, “about 250-feet long and 55-feet wide,” Stubbs said.

It’s pulled onto location by a tug. “Then, an array of ocean anchors allows the dredge to move around — like a big crab out there.”

The operation is critical to maintaining the health of the shoreline and the habitat it provides, said Jeff Netzinger, Hilton Head’s engineering and projects director.

E-Parking Brake System Now Available for Kenworth Trucks

Kenworth announced the Bendix Intellipark electronic parking brake (EPB) system is now an available option for Kenworth heavy- and medium-duty models.

The system is equipped with safety features such as rollaway mitigation, smart unpark and auto trailer brake release (on towing models). The features are supported by unique interlocks that verify the vehicle is ready to be parked or unparked through sensors that monitor door position, seat belt status and vehicle movement.

The electronic parking brake system replaces traditional red-and-yellow push/pull knobs with new switches that feature LEDs clearly showing park brake status at a glance. The design maintains the recognizable symbols while simplifying operation, eliminating the “sting” usually associated with manual valves, and helping to reduce fatigue and distraction during frequent stops. The EPB system is a great enhancement for drivers in pickupand-delivery, refuse and start-and-stop vocational applications.

Kenworth photo

“The electronic parking brake system brings a new level of redundancy, simplicity and assurance to our customers,” said Kevin Haygood, Kenworth’s assistant general manager of sales and marketing. “With EPB, drivers can count on an added layer of protection that helps to mitigate rollaway incidents. While this technology is beneficial for any customer, it’s particularly useful in vocational, P&D and other applications that require drivers to enter and exit the cab numerous times per day.”

The EPB system also is compatible with Kenworth’s recently announced packages of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), which include the latest version of the Bendix Fusion system, tire pressure monitoring system, lane keeping assist with torque assisted steering and DigitalVision mirrors.

Bendix emphasizes that technologies, including the Bendix Intellipark electronic parking brake system, complement safe driving practices. No commercial vehicle safety technology, including Bendix safety technologies, replaces a skilled, alert driver exercising safe driving techniques and proactive, comprehensive driving training.

Responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver at all times. Never wait for the system to intervene. Every driver should carefully review the operator’s manual and be trained by the fleet or vehicle owner on the proper operation and limitations of the ADAS system during operation.

Many Bridges Lack Ability to Handle Modern Traffic

ARTBA reports that bridges are a big focus for any state highway programs. The association logged more than 27,000 structures in need of repair or replacement.

According to the association, states now have access to the full $26.6 billion available in the new bridge formula program over five years.

“Unlike the core highway program, agencies have four years to commit these funds toward eligible projects,” said ARTBA.

As of December 2025, states have committed $15 billion toward more than 7,350 projects, nearly 57 percent of available funds.

“And, as projects get under way, states have been reimbursed for $8.5 billion in work completed,” it said.

Ongoing Problem, New Funding Program

In its 2025 bridge report, ARTBA found that 220,295 spans across the country need repair. It noted that 74,472 actually should be replaced.

The association logged approximately 222,000 bridges in need of repair in 2024 and more than 76,000 needing replacement.

Of the bridges needing repair, 41,677 are rated in poor condition — down from 42,067 in 2024 — and classified as “structurally deficient,” reported ARTBA.

“Motorists cross these structures 163 million times a day,” said Alison Premo Black, ARTBA’s senior vice president and chief economist.

Premo Black tracked and analyzed the bridge data and found that California was among states that declined in the number of bridges in poor condition:

Iowa, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Nebraska rounded out the top five with the biggest drop in poor-condition spans.

The number of bridges in poor condition rose in North Carolina, New York, Illinois, Oregon and Wisconsin.

“The results help underscore the importance of the federal bridge formula program, which provides $27.5 billion for states through FY 2026,” said Premo Black.

As the end of FY 2025 approaches, states have committed $11.7 billion in bridge formula funds or 55 percent of the $21.2 billion currently available.

“These funds are supporting more than 6,000 bridge projects in the construction and repair pipeline,” said the economist.

ARTBA’s analysis of the 2025 DOT National Bridge Inventory found that 35 percent of all U.S. bridges require major repair work or replacement.

Premo Black said states have received

$21.2 billion in the first four years of the 2021 infrastructure law’s new $27.5 billion formula bridge program. She noted that to date, states have committed $11.7 billion or 55 percent of these resources to more than 6,000 bridge projects.

The remaining 45 percent of released bridge funds and the $5.3 billion provided to states in the last year of the bill supports additional improvements.

Thirty-one states have committed at least half of their available bridge formula funds, said Premo Black.

Just eight states and Washington, D.C., have committed less than 33 percent of available funds, as of June 30, 2025.

The DOT’s discretionary Bridge Improvement Program (BIP) provides an additional $12.5 billion for projects that will be awarded through 2026.

Under the 2021 IIJA, states have access to $5.3 billion in formula funds each year after set-asides and takedowns from the $5.5 billion apportionment.

The BIP has awarded $7.8 billion for 87 planning, small and large bridge project grants in more than 40 states.

Premo Black reports that over the past five years, the share of bridges in fair condition has continued to grow. At the same time, the numbers of structures classified as being in “poor” or “good” condition has declined.

“Most bridges are inspected every two years, meaning repairs under way or in the planning stages can take time to be reflected in the NBI data,” she said.

ARTBA reported that last year, 50 percent of all bridges in the United States were in fair condition.

Bridges in poor condition represent 6.7 percent of the 2025 U.S. bridge inventory — compared with seven percent in 2021.

Based on average cost data submitted by states to DOT, ARTBA estimates it would cost $467 billion to make all identified repairs, said Premo Black.

The classification is based on the latest inspection, which usually occurs once every 24 months for most bridges, according to the ARTBA bridge report.

“Therefore, state and local governments may be in the process of working on some of these structures to make needed repairs,” Premo Black said.

The ARTBA study found that most state rankings stayed the same in 2025, even as improvements have been made.

The states with the most bridges in poor condition, in order, are Iowa, West Virginia, South Dakota, Maine and Puerto Rico.

Beyond those five, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, North Dakota and Michigan rounded out the top 10 list.

ARTBA also noted that 13 states have committed 75 percent or more of their funds to bridge repairs and replacements.

The list is led by Alabama, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia, Idaho, Indiana, North Dakota and Wisconsin.

In a report to members, ARTBA said that while the 2021 infrastructure law provides investment, one in three bridges still need repair or replacement.

“Congress has the opportunity to build on this recent momentum in the next surface transportation reauthorization bill due Sept. 30, 2026,” said the association.

Turning Tide in Bridge Construction

“America’s bridge infrastructure is entering a defining decade,” said Mary Scott Nabers, president and CEO of Strategic Partnerships Inc. “Transportation agencies are advancing high-value replacement projects that blend safety, mobility, freight reliability and multimodal access.”

Nabers added that many of the structures now slated for reconstruction were built between 1950 to 1980. She said they were never designed to accommodate today’s traffic volumes, vehicle weights or safety standards.

But the bridge sector is seeing a national wave of large-scale investments that present significant opportunities.

It’s a great chance, she added, for engineering firms, contractors, materials suppliers and technology providers to take advantage of the construction funding.

“These projects reflect a shift toward resilient design, expanded capacity, pedestrian and bicycle integration and long-term durability,” said Nabers. “With federal BIP dollars flowing, many states are allocating funding matches to support the planning and design phases for future projects.”

In fact, numerous solicitations for significant projects will be released over the next 12 to 24 months, she said. That positions this year and next as “pivotal” years for preconstruction engagement.

Notable projects on Nabers’ list include replacement of the Rainbow Bridge over Idaho’s Payette River.

Valley County officials in Idaho have announced a $54 million project to replace the bridge on State Highway 55.

“The existing bridge is aging, weathered and no longer able to meet Idaho Transportation Department safety standards,” said Nabers.

Safety and operational concerns have persisted for years, she added, including inadequate shoulder and lane widths.

Tight curves and vehicle length and

weight restrictions also have plagued drivers traversing the bridge.

Officials were weighing three design options for the replacement: a multi spandrel art deco arch, a steel thru arch, or a spandrel braced steel arch.

Construction is not expected to begin until 2028, but early industry positioning will be important as procurement milestones are established.

In Harrisburg, Pa., city officials announced a $1.3 billion bridge project that will replace the aging I-83 Bridge. This construction will be done in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, said Nabers.

“The objective is to improve long-term mobility, reduce congestion and enhance safety along this heavily traveled corridor.”

The contract is for replacement of the main bridge with a new structure built to current compliance standards and designed to accommodate future traffic demand.

“Crews will rebuild and improve roadway approaches on both sides of the river to create safer merging areas and smoother traffic movements,” said Nabers.

The Virginia DOT’s long-range improvement program outlines a $47.7 million replacement project for the I-66 bridge in Fauquier County.

The current structure, built in 1980, no longer meets modern safety standards, said Nabers. It also cannot adequately accommodate regional traffic demands along the I66 corridor.

So, the existing bridge will be demolished and replaced with a new structure featuring increased load capacity.

“The initiative is intended to extend the service life of this critical crossing and improve reliability for commuters and freight movement,” said Nabers.

The project is in the design stage, with solicitation documents scheduled for release in late 2026. Completion is currently targeted for summer 2029.

In Kansas, a new four-lane bridge is planned for Leavenworth County. KDOT plans to replace the existing Centennial Bridge over the Missouri River.

At an estimated cost of $157 million, the project will be designed to deliver a multimodal bridge just north of the existing structure nearing the end of its useful life. Constructing a new structure adjacent to the existing span, KDOT can maintain connectivity during construction as it incorporates existing alignments.

“Once the new bridge is operational, the existing structure will be demolished.”

Construction is to begin in early 2027; completion expected for 2029.  CEG

Kleemann Debuts Mobile Scalper MOBISCREEN MSS 1102 Pro

The new MOBISCREEN MSS 1102 Pro mobile scalper from Kleemann is characterized by its high output, simple operability and ergonomics, according to Kleemann.

Due to its dual power drive, the machine can be operated fully electrically and scores top marks when it comes to zero operating emissions. attendees of ConExpo 2026 were able to get a close look at the plant.

Compact, Powerful, Versatile

With the MOBISCREEN MSS 1102 Pro, Kleemann extends its portfolio of mobile scalpers above the established MOBISCREEN MSS 802 Evo. Due to its design, its generously dimensioned feed hopper and a screen casing of 120 sq. ft., the plant achieves feed rates of up to 827 tons per hour, according to Kleemann.

High operational flexibility is guaranteed by the infinitely variable adjustment of the speed of all conveyor belts and easy conversion from two to three final grain sizes. The wide setting range of the screen casing angle (12.5 to 17.0 degrees) makes it possible to simultaneously achieve high screening performance and very good product quality, according to Kleemann.

A range of screening media enables efficient use of the plant. Whether these are finger decks for loamy soils or square mesh for classifying decorative stone chips — the screen decks of the MOBISCREEN 1102 Pro can be fitted with screening media to meet the needs of individual applications. The screen decks also can be fitted with a combination of screening media. Overall, the new plant offers a broad spectrum of potential configurations that enable it to deliver impressive performance as a standalone machine or in conjunction with other Kleemann plants.

Simple Operating Concept for Reliable Screening Applications

The plant control system of the MSS 1102 Pro reduces the risk of operating errors and considerably reduces the time required for

training new personnel. In addition, all relevant functions can be operated from a safe distance, thereby ensuring greater occupational safety.

The optional Spective radio remote control also makes operation of the screening plant easier: It can be used to control not only the driving function but also all plant setting functions. Furthermore, it makes convenient speed setting of the hopper discharge conveyor possible as well as the cutting in of further functions such as the water spray system.

Kleemann screening plants can now also be equipped with Spective Connect. This digital application provides operators with all relevant data such as speed, consumption values and fill levels directly on their smartphone. The stockpile monitoring function provides a display of the current status of material stockpiles. When a predefined value is reached, a message appears indicat-

ing that the stockpile should be cleared as soon as possible. This makes the work easier and increases productivity, according to Kleemann.

AccessibilityUser-FriendlinessImproves

Regular maintenance work is essential for ensuring a long service life and consistently reliable productivity. In order to carry out this maintenance work as quickly and efficiently as possible, the MOBISCREEN MSS 1102 Pro offers good accessibility to all maintenance-relevant components and lubrication points as well as smart cleaning solutions. The screening media also are easily accessible and quickly exchanged via extra-wide catwalks and a horizontally adjustable screen casing.

Accessible fuel filling nozzles on both sides of the plant guarantee a smooth refueling procedure even if one side of the plant is

more difficult to access, e.g. due to a ramp or piles of aggregates, according to the company.

Electro-Hydraulic Dual Power Drive

Due to the all-electric option of the electro-hydraulic dual power drive system, the MOBISCREEN MSS 1102 Pro can be operated with zero operational emissions, according to Kleemann.

If the engine is run on diesel fuel, a loadcontrolled cooling fan guarantees a reduction of the noise level and fuel consumption. In turn, water spraying on the discharge conveyors significantly reduces dust emissions during plant operation, therefore ensuring better working conditions for plant operators and higher levels of acceptance by local residents, according to Kleemann.

Superior’s Dust Control Solutions Target Transfer Zones

As aggregate producers and mine operators prepare for stricter Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations on respirable crystalline silica and airborne dust, Superior Industries spotlights new dust control solutions for conveyor transfer points and load zones.

The conveyor manufacturer’s new adjustable skirtboard systems and RockGuard skirting liners are engineered for flexibility across multiple conveyor configurations, without the need for any custom fabrication.

“Many new conveyors arrive on site with standard OEM skirtboards that simply aren’t long or tall enough for real-world applications,” said Chris Mullen, a conveyor components territory manager of Superior in the Southeast United States. “Because MSHA considers dust control an engineering responsibility of the mine operator, it requires turning what is often an open, uncontrolled environment into a sealed system that manages airflow and dust.”

Engineered for Conveyor Specific Adjustability

Superior’s adjustable skirtboards deliver affordable transfer point and load-zone containment, cutting dust, spillage, cleanup and

worker risks. Skirtboard systems are engineered with a modular, adjustable design that allows operators to fine-tune length and height for each conveyor application, while creating a more effective seal along the belt to reduce fugitive dust, according to Superior Industries.

Eliminating the need for custom engineering and costly installation, skirtboard systems are easily adjustable in 3-in. increments. Mounting legs are designed for easy onsite trimming and fitting, which also simplifies installation, according to Superior Industries.

Superior Industries photo

Superior Industries’ new adjustable skirtboard systems and RockGuard skirting liners are engineered for flexibility across multiple conveyor configurations.

Complementing the skirtboards, Superior’s RockGuard skirting liners are designed to contain material within the transfer zone while reducing dust, spillage and preventing material buildup on the shelf of the liner.

“By combining adjustable skirtboards with RockGuard liners, producers protect the skirtboard structure itself, extending the life of the entire skirting system while reducing rebuild cycles and long term mainte-

nance costs,” said Mullen.

For sites where dust levels remain elevated, the modular skirtboard system can be expanded with belt covers, tail enclosures or a stilling box. The stilling box controls dust mechanically, requiring no water or electrical power, which reduces maintenance demands and avoids moisture-related belt wear, according to Superior Industries. These components can be added at any stage of the conveyor’s life cycle, giving operators

flexibility as site conditions evolve.

Driven By Regulatory Urgency

Since their introduction, Superior’s adjustable skirtboards have seen strong adoption, particularly among producers proactively preparing for MSHA compliance, according to the company.

“When you see that level of investment, it tells us that producers are taking the new silica regulations seriously — not just because of potential citations, but because of employee safety and long-term operational risk,” Mullen said.

MSHA citations for silica exposure can carry significant financial penalties, and repeat violations may result in increased inspection frequency. That’s why, for many producers, investing in effective dust control solutions is increasingly viewed as both a compliance strategy and a workforce safety measure.

Rasmussen Equipment’s Gallegos Claims

‘Pink-Belt’ for Breast Cancer Awareness

Pink-Belt, the 15.2-t Link-Belt 145 X4 excavator that traveled the United States for the past year to support breast cancer awareness, has been sold to the highest bidder, Randy Gallegos of Rasmussen Equipment of West Valley City, Utah. Pink-Belt was auctioned at ConExpo 2026 on March 5, raising a grand total of $220,000 for the cause.

“We’ve hosted the Pink-Belt tour three times now, and our dealership is very excited,” said Gallegos. “What’s more personal to me is that my sister passed away at 48 and my sisterin-law at 45 with cancer. I would really like to continue to contribute, through rental proceeds and our philanthropic efforts, to raising cancer awareness.”

“Through the continued amazing support of our dealers, customers and business partners, we, at LBX, are proud and honored to contribute a little bit to the fight against breast cancer,” said Eric Sauvage, CEO of LBX Company. “We have been supporting the Yes, Mamm program, created by CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundation in 2012 in Lexington, Kentucky, as well as the National Breast Cancer Foundation in their shared journey to raise awareness of early detection of breast cancer and increase survival rates in our communities and our nation. We are very thankful to all our participants. Our live auction results represent far more than numbers — they represent more early detection opportunities, treatment access, emotional support and hope for individuals and families navigating breast cancer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners who have supported us in this journey: ESCO Corporation, FastSigns, Grizzly Supplies, JB Harris, Dromone, TAG Manufacturing Inc. and Trimble. The suc-

cess of our Pink Belt campaign demonstrates the power of collective commitment to saving lives and improving outcomes.”

LBX announced that 100 percent of the Pink-Belt auction proceeds benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Yes, Mamm! by CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundations.

“Reuniting for the LBX tour campaign and the Pink-Belt auction at ConExpo has been incredibly meaningful,” said Emily Millender, senior manager of strategic partnerships of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. “The support shown by the LBX team and their customers highlights the power of a community coming together for an important cause. We look forward to continuing this partnership and the lives that will be impacted through LBX’s support of our lifesaving programs and mission of Helping Women Now.”

The cause received a further $2,000 boost due to Jade Shank, who won the auction for the PinkBelt scale model Prize package.

LBX would like to thank the following companies for their support of Pink-Belt:

Menard Relies On ALL for Next Phase of Florida Turnpike’s Suncoast Parkway

Sometimes, before you can start building a highway, you first have to build up the ground beneath it. That’s what is happening in Florida’s Citrus County as the latest phase of the Suncoast Parkway extension rolls on.

Ground-improvement specialist Menard USA is relying on ALL Crane Rental of Florida, a member of the ALL Family of Companies, to provide a series of cranes needed for ground-densification operations.

Superior Construction is the general contractor of Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, who is the project owner.

Citrus County, like many parts of Florida, is notorious for the presence of sinkholes. The state’s limestone geology is an aggravating factor, as groundwater can erode the limestone and create holes and tunnels within the limestone layer.

“This is especially true in areas where there is no layer of clay separating limestone from sand,” said Robert Dubay, the south region safety manager of Menard USA. “The limestone is like Swiss cheese. The sand eventually shifts and filters into the holes and tunnels, creating vaults in the ground above that turn into sinkholes.”

Dubay noted that Florida’s limestone layer is so porous, there’s an old saying that if a person could hold his or her breath long enough, they could swim from Key West to Jacksonville (a distance of approximately 500 mi.) completely underground.

Dubay’s team is using three main types of densification processes for this phase of the Suncoast Parkway expansion: compaction grouting, the addition of wick drains and vibro sand compaction. It is this third process that requires the use of cranes.

Smaller crawler cranes from ALL are outfitted with a 20-in. vibrating probe followed by a 60-ft.-long tube that is 12 in. in diameter. The probe vibrates laterally as it bores into the earth. After reaching the limestone layer at a depth prescribed by an engineer (approximately 50 ft. below the surface) the cranes begin backing out the tubes. While this reversal is occurring, Menard USA’s crew starts pouring new sand into the vertical tunnel left behind.

“This hardens the ground and ‘tightens’ the hole,” said Dubay. Cranes work the site in a grid pattern to ensure complete coverage.

So far, Menard USA has used three 80-ton Link-Belt 138HSL crawlers configured with 120ft. booms. A fourth will be implemented soon. The probes and follow tubes are connected to the crane booms using 5-ft.-long, 1.25-in. diameter eye-to-eye chokers. The aim of all densification efforts is to prepare the ground to accept the weight of the coming highway as well as the traffic it will carry.

“Often when we’re discussing road and bridge work, we’re talking about cranes with long reaches and large capacities in excess of 500 tons or more,” said Dennis Davis, sales representative of ALL Crane Rental of Florida. “This project serves as a reminder that our smaller equipment are critical assets, and that they’re an important part of any well-rounded crane fleet.”

Dubay said another collaboration between Menard USA and ALL is coming soon, as three more cranes will work to shore-up the ground for the Polk Parkway project, inland from the current job in Citrus County.

RB Global to Acquire BigIron, Accelerating Expansion Into Ag

RB Global, Inc. announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire BigIron Auction Company, accelerating the company’s strategic expansion into United States agriculture.

BigIron is a scaled, agriculture-focused online marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of agricultural equipment, land, livestock and other farm and ranch assets. Embedded in the communities it serves across rural America, BigIron’s digital platform is trusted by farmers, landowners and rural enterprises.

BigIron processed roughly $885 million in gross transaction value, including roughly $520 million from commercial assets and vehicles and $365 million from agriculture land and real estate transactions, and is supported by a highly engaged bidder base.

“BigIron brings a talented team with deep ag sector knowledge and an established sales footprint that will continue operating as a stand-alone brand while being complemented by the Ritchie Bros. industrial footprint,” said Jim Kessler, CEO of RB Global. “This will create opportunities to serve even more customers through a combination of onsite, offsite and digital channels and solutions.”

“We are proud of our team’s tremendous work to establish BigIron as a leading auction marketplace for farmers, landowners and rural businesses,” said Mark Stock, cofounder of BigIron. “RB Global values our culture and shares our respect for the agricultural community. Through this combination, we gain a larger platform and additional resources, which is expected to help us deliver even greater choice and liquidity to all the sellers we serve.”

Ron Stock, co-founder of BigIron, said,

“Since our founding in 1984, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to providing an honest, trustworthy auction. We look forward to continuing our mission to serve our sellers, buyers and employees for years to come, and to continue operating BigIron as a standalone brand with Mark and I involved in the business as usual.”

The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Until closing, RB Global and BigIron will continue to operate as independent companies in the ordinary course. For more information, visit rbglobal.com.

JM Wood Holds 53rd Annual Spring Sale in Montgomery, Ala.

A Tennessee trio who has done business together for decades reconnect at the sale. (L-R) are Steve Ray, Leasing Systems Inc.; Wheeler Johnson, JM Wood Auction; and Bill Woods, Woods Equipment.

Impeccable machines and impeccable staging create a buying experience like no other.

Ballowe (L) and Scott Flowers of Ring Power based in St. Augustine, Fla., are constantly on the auction trail looking for the best Cat machines they can find.

Flying in from Iowa to inspect some Komatsu dozers and other pieces of iron that went on the auction block on day three of the sale were Kent Martin (L) and Duane High of Hoover Rental and Sales, Cantril, Iowa.

Another five big days of auctioning took place at the 53rd Annual Spring Auction at JM Wood Auction’s headquarters in Montgomery, Ala. A total of 3,852 lots were sold.

Held March 17-21, 2026, a quality line-up of heavy iron, mini- and compact equipment, trucks, forestry equipment, support equipment and more was available at this auction.

Featured sellers included Alabama Counties, Alabama Power, Georgia Power, Blanchard Machinery, Bottomline Equipment, Scott Bridge, Thompson Tractor, Wiregrass Construction and more than 350 other sellers.

Test operating some late-model Cat dozers of interest are three generations of management of Indian Creek Excavating, Tuscaloosa, Ala., including (L-R) Lucas Hargett, Andrew Hargett and Virgil Miller

“Dump trucks and big iron did very well over the last five days,” said Russ Wood.

“There are a lot of giant dirt jobs kicking off across the country and you could feel the momentum out there.”

Upcoming sales include the ALDOT auction on May 7-8; WC Fore Trucking in Gulfport, Miss., on May 20; and the 53rd Annual Summer auction, June 16-18 in Montgomery, Ala.

A half-dozen almos-new Deere 650/P LGP dozers caught the attention of the husband-and-wife team of Angie and Eddie Rushing of A&R Construction, Columbus, Miss.
