THE BRIDGE OF FLOWERS

The following information is provided as curricular aids for teachers, guides for parents, and resources for anyone curious about bridge construction and history. It was developed by students enrolled in course CEE-129, Bridge Design and Rehabilitation, at Tufts University, taught by Brian Brenner, a Professor of the Practice at the University and a Principal Engineer at Tighe & Bond. We are grateful to them for choosing the Bridge of Flowers as their 2021 case study and we are proud to share this information with you. (Read this press release for more information.)
