Unfortunately, no. Cast-in-place requires us to embed rebar dowels in the road to anchor the concrete. We can’t do that on a bridge without risking damage. We will be testing other flexpost alternatives for bridges that we hope can be more reliably attached with adhesives.

Yes! Cast-in-place is more durable than precast. It’s also more flexible. We can use it for bike lane buffers, pedestrian refuge islands, daylighting, even mini roundabouts. It’s also more customizable. We can size pieces to whatever the street needs instead of relying on premade sizes.
