If you work with bridges and roads, we recommend frequenting the website for our partner magazine, RebuildingAmericasInfrastructure.com. Since launching the magazine in April 2009, we have paid close attention to the comments and clicks on this website. By doing so, we’ve learned a lot about the types of stories that are most appreciated. We’ve learned that while news stories about the stimulus package are prevalent, stories that take a longer view are often preferred. We’ve learned that although articles about tried-and-true methods are important, new ideas always deserve consideration. We’ve learned that the essence of “rebuilding” is often about admiring the structures we built generations ago. Here are a few headlines from some of RAI’s most popular stories of 2009:

• “Employability concerns push engineers to flex business-management muscles”
• “Plastic roads in India paving the way for a global greener future?”
• “VIDEO: Operatic bridge demolition, courtesy VDOT”
