Award of Merit, Transportation: Houma to Freeport Bridge Relocation
When a bridge in Houma, La., that had been unused for nearly 20 years had to come down for safety and obstruction reasons, the decision was made to relocate it to Freeport, Texas, where an existing bridge needed to be replaced.
The entire Houma Bridge was then dismantled and secured onto seven barges and shipped to Freeport through the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
