#### The successful conferences ICTB 2010 in Lillehammer, Norway, and ICTB2013 in Las Vegas, USA, is now being followed up by a third conference in Skellefteå, Sweden. The conference will be a unique opportunity to network with an international community of experts on timber bridges, including highway, railway and pedestrian structures.

#### Conference Topics
