The high cost of constructing, repairing, and replacing critical infrastructure – combined with
increasingly unpredictable climate conditions – are making it harder for owners, designers, and
regulators to ensure long-term safety, durability, and sustainability of structures. At the same time,
infrastructure professionals acknowledge that durable and sustainable design benefits
communities socially, economically, and environmentally.
The 2025 edition of CSA S6:25, Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC), responds directly to
these challenges, advancing a more rigorous and unified approach to designing and constructing
bridges for increased safety, durability and sustainability.
