We build footbridges with isolated communities to ensure they have year-round safe access to essential resources and opportunities.

The UIUC Chapter of the EIA Bridge Program is a student-run chapter under the international, non-profit organization, Engineers in Action Bridge Program. We design and construct footbridges over impassable rivers with rural communities worldwide to strive for a world with equal opportunity. We believe a river should not be a barrier to someone getting an education, a farmer accessing their crops, or a parent getting their child proper healthcare.
