The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA) recently announced the winners of the 2020 Prize Bridge Awards.
Nineteen bridges were recognized for this year’s Prize Bridge Awards. Both AISC and NSBA said that all the winners have made an enormous impact on the lives of the people they serve. One example highlighted was the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in Big Sur, California, which reconnected a community after a landslide damaged a concrete bridge beyond repair. The new bridge opened for traffic across a narrow, mountainous space only eight months after the existing bridge was closed.
“These projects are tributes to the creativity of the designers and the skills of the constructors who collaborated to make them reality,” AISC President Charles J. Carter, SE, PE, PhD, said in a statement. “Steel shines and soars on their talents and we celebrate the accomplishments these projects represent.”
