Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite bridge decks are increasingly being accepted by bridge owners and designers as a suitable alternative to traditional construction materials such as reinforced concrete, steel and masonry. This is because FRP as a material has several advantages such as high strength to weight ratio and high durability due to inherent corrosion resistance properties. Additionally, the material lends itself to a large degree of prefabrication which saves construction time thus minimising traffic disruptions. This paper explores the possible application of FRP to bridge construction in developing countries and its implications on project management and delivery
