A geothermal de-icing system designed by researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington kept a test bridge mostly clear of snow and ice during the sub-freezing winter storm in February. Now the research team will install its system on an in-service bridge to see how it performs under operational conditions.
Plans still on schedule to fix notorious Highway 380 issues When you work for years to champion a road project & right when you re about to go into construction, to have a loss of life just adds to the pain, said Eads. Author: Jobin Panicker Updated: 8:52 PM CDT May 24, 2021

Now the research team will install its system on an in-service bridge to see how it performs under operational conditions.
Xinbao Yu, associate professor of civil engineering, has received nearly $636,000 from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to test the team’s design of geothermal loops beneath the bridge deck on a full-size bridge. The team is working with TxDOT to determine which bridge to use for the testing phase.
