This should include the owner, structural engineer, general contractor, steel fabricator, steel detailer, bender/roller (if applicable), steel erector, and any key consultants.

• what makes your bridge an example of innovative design and construction excellence. You’ll find more details about what this should include in the “How to enter” section of the full rules.
