Nebraska Bridge Uses Conductive Concrete to Self-Deice During Snowstorms

A 52-slab bridge in Nebraska has for over a decade used specially engineered, electrically conductive concrete to warm its surface and prevent ice buildup. The approach reduces reliance on salt and chemicals and offers a potential model for cold-climate infrastructure.
