Bridge Contest Video
Channel: WVDOT
Date: 24/02/2023

Middle and high school students across West Virginia have until March 1 to enter the West Virginia Bridge Design and Build Contest.  There's still time!  Everything you need to enter the contest is on the website, from free software, to a video tutorial by Secretary of Transportation Jimmy Wriston, P.E., showing students and teachers how to build a bridge.  Students can participate by themselves or in teams of two and can do so from home, or school.  Only middle and high school students will be eligible to advance to the final competition, but all students who submit a design, including elementary aged students and those who do not make it to the final competition, will earn a free family tour of the New River Gorge Bridge catwalk compliments of Bridgewalk.
