Grant Footbridge The idea of a shell composite GFRP footbridge manufactured with use of infusion technology was developed in 2008 and reported in a form of research project submitted to Polish National Science and Development Agency in 2009. The project received financing in 2012 and is conducted under the acronym FOBRIDGE (PBS1/B2/6/2013, NCBiR).
