Completed in 2005, the Florida Avenue Bridge transformed marine navigation in New Orleans. Designed by Modjeski and Masters, the 352-foot vertical lift span replaced a 1920s bascule bridge, widening clearance from 93 to 300 feet and eliminating a major traffic bottleneck.
Senior VP Ralph Eppehimer helped bring this project to life, navigating construction around live traffic, floodwalls, and even Hurricane Katrina.
