IS-ASCE SEI May Luncheon: When a Simple Span Bridge Wasn't so Simple
2026-05-20 12:00 - 13:00
Horner & Shifrin was hired to design a simple span bridge for Highway 163 bridge over the Bonne Femme Creek southeast of Columbia. The existing bridge was a single span bridge with closed abutments and no skew. The new bridge is a single-span prestressed bridge with a 25-degree skew. When demolishing the west abutment, a portal to the Devil’s Icebox cave system was discovered nearly directly under one of the piles. Horner & Shifrin evaluated several options to construct the bridge balancing them with the already fabricated girders since material shortages still persisted at this time. 1.0 PDH will be provided.

Register by Tuesday, May 19th.
