Research and Outreach

The Bureau of Structures works with a number of internal, state, and national research institutions and organizations to explore and develop solutions to current and future transportation needs. We work with our partners and stakeholders to identify needs and opportunities related to structures research. Research results help shape the practices, policies, and standards used to develop and maintain Wisconsin’s transportation infrastructure.
