Join the ASCE Richmond Branch for a monthly technical lunch meeting where our community of civil engineers come together to network, learn about exciting new topics, and earn 1.0 PDH credit.

This month Craig Ponte (VDOT Richmond District Bridge Engineer) will give an overview on VDOT’s Structure and Bridge Division.

Presenter: Craig Ponte, VDOT
Presenter: Craig Ponte, VDOT

Abstract:

The Richmond District covers 14 counties and eight cities, encompassing 5,122 square miles of Central Virginia and serves as home to about 1.4 million people. Within the Richmond District, there are over 2,600 existing bridges and culverts, with more structures being added to this inventory as new bridges and culverts are built and come online.  Managing this inventory of structures provides challenges and opportunities for engineers to solve complex problems and contribute to the overall health and longevity of our local bridge infrastructure.  This presentation will provide an overview of the mission, responsibilities, challenges, and priorities of the Richmond District bridge program area.
