Transport is one of Europe’s strengthsTransport is one of Europe’s strengths Air transport: 2.1% EU GDP, 3.1 million jobs Surface transport: 11% EU GDP, 16 million jobs
Transport faces major challengesTransport faces major challenges Environment: climate change (CO2), pollution (air, water, soil)-> public
health , biodiversity Energy : 30% of total energy consumption in EU-> 98% dependency on oil Enlargement: increase of 25% of land surface and 20% population Mobility: people & goods -> accessibility, economic development, cohesive
and dynamic society Transport industries: ensure technological competitive advantages and
employability Transport is relevant on major international agreements and EU Transport is relevant on major international agreements and EU

Assessment for future traffic demands and longer lives
The project objectives are: to increase the transport capacity of existing bridges
by allowing axle loads of up to 33 tons for freight traffic with moderate speeds or for speeds of up to 350 km/hour for passenger traffic with low axle loads
to increase the residual service lives of existing bridges by up to 25%
to enhance management, strengthening and repair systems.
