FNF recently completed the new Fourth Street bridge over Interstate 40 in Flagstaff, AZ for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). FNF built the bridge using Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) - technologies that allow for much quicker bridge replacement. The new Fourth Street bridge was constructed in phases with prefabricated bridge elements parallel to the existing bridge to allow traffic to remain during most of the construction duration. In less than the 17-day allotted road closure timeframe, FNF demoed the old bridges, excavated hard rock for the new bridge to slide into, placed four new abutments, did a closure pour for all abutments and decks, backfilled the bridges, tied in the approaches, and paved the roadway.

ABC offers many benefits, including enhancing safety for both workers and the traveling public, reducing onsite construction time, and lessening the project's environmental impact. Arizona has more recently been including the use of ABC on projects all over the state, and FNF is proud to have pioneered this effort alongside both ADOT and the Federal Highway Administration, replacing bridges in a fraction of the time of traditional construction methods.

September was National Suicide Prevention Month, and FNF was active in getting the word out. The construction industry has the highest number of suicides and the highest suicide rate. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that one out of 10 people have seriously considered suicide during the past month. Two out of five people are suffering from mental or behavioral health problems.  Moreover, suicide occurs every 12 minutes in the U.S.

The construction industry has a stigma of a "tough-guy" culture with workers that often work away from home. With chronic pain, isolation, alcohol/drug abuse, and financial difficulties, the warning signs can lead people to withdraw and give up on life.  COVID-19 has exacerbated the problem, has made more people feel hopeless and helpless, and has created financial difficulties for many. Recent data indicates that one out of four people have increased substance abuse to cope with stress or emotions related to COVID-19. Read More
