I'm going to be reverting a few of your changes due to the way they do not match standard style. Using title case in prose is frowned on, for instance. - Denimadept (talk) 18:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Introduction
The Accelerated Bridge Program is a bond bill signed into law by the Massachusetts State government in August 2008 a year after the I-35 bridge collapse put the states bridges in the spot light. The $3 Billion 8-Year Accelerated bridge program will replace and rehabilitate around 200 bridges state wide. 300-500 additional bridges will be preserved to prevent further deterioration. The goal of the program is to reduce the number of structurally deficient bridges from its current number of 563.

Labratory of Inovation
The MassDOT has called the Accelerated Bridge Program the "Labratory of Inovation". Engineers on each project are invited to investigate other options to replace the bridges faster and more efficient to reopen the bridges to traffic faster. Some of these options for the projects are -Design/Build (Ex I-495 Lowell) -Prefabricated Girders -Prefabricated Deck Pannels (Ex I-495 Lowell) -Prefabricated Substructure -Heavy Lift of slide in bridge (Route 2 Phillipston) -float in bridge (Craigie Drawbridge) -Modular Bridges (I-93 Medford) -Bridge in a Back Pack -Bridges Constructed in a single phase with traffic detoured

Capitalization
In the future, please do not capitalize every word. It's grammatically incorrect, and hard to read. ToddC4176 (talk) 00:44, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
