Greetings from Bridging Solutions!

This installment of “A Bridge Moment” provides a copy of a magazine article that was published in the June 2015 Florida Engineering Society Journal. It was written by Ralph Verrastro, PE and is titled PRECASTSLAB + (GRS + IBS) = ABC. The article provides design and construction details related to the FDOT design-build bridge replacement project for the Rock Ridge Road Bridge over Gator Canal in Polk County, Florida. Send any questions or comments regarding this article to Ralph at ralph@bridging-solutions.com or call him at 239-216-1370. The article may also be accessed through the Blog section of our website.
