LKB is thrilled to be the recipient of the 2020 Resiliency Award for our design and construction inspection services for the American Venice Bridges in the Town of Babylon.
The need for the replacement of these bridges was highlighted during the flooding that occurred in the area during Superstorm Sandy. LKB worked with the local community and New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to design new bridges that replicated the concrete arch structures, along with the intricate concrete parapets, which were originally designed to look like a typical bridge found in Venice, Italy. The team also provided construction support services and detailed inspection services during construction.
Thanks to ASCE Long Island Branch for this honor!
