# MCS Bridge Division

> MCS Bridge Division, part of Mission Critical Solutions, is an American manufacturer of steel bridge grid decking. It fabricates open grid, half-filled, fully filled, and Exodermic grid deck systems and provides engineering, detailing, and project coordination for bridge rehabilitation and new construction.

Key facts:
- Bridge grid decking costs more upfront than cast-in-place concrete (planning values about $100/ft² vs $60/ft²), but it reduces dead load, field labor, forming, work-zone exposure, and traffic closure time.
- Grid decks have documented service histories over 50 years, including decks in service since the 1930s.
- Sources for every figure are listed on the References page.
