Transport infrastructure is the physical framework which society relies on to be able to travel. At CIHT our primary focus is on infrastructure relating to highway transportation, such as pavements, bridges, tunnels, roads, bus stops and cycle lanes. The importance of proper planning, design, implementation and maintenance of transport infrastructure is key to delivering a transport network that can accommodate the needs of all members of society.

Major challenges of how to reduce carbon in infrastructure projects is outlined, giving you the latest insight into leading developments with this.
