RECONNECTED - The engineers hired to replace a bridge over Biloxi Bay after it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina faced a daunting task: Ensuring that one lane of the new bridge would be open in each direction in just 18 months and that the entire bridge, which was to carry three lanes in each direction, would be open in less than two years. Using carefully designed structural elements that could be easily manufactured and the design-build delivery method, they beat the initial deadline by two months.: Fid-Bau Portal
