Building a Bridge for the Future: The I-74 Mississippi River Bridge Project
Join Danielle Mulholland, I-74 Project Manager, Iowa Department of Transportation, and members of the Quad Cities ASM Chapter for pizza (free to students, teachers and ASM members), to learn about state-of-the-art technology and high-quality materials in the I-74 River Bridge Project.

The I-74 Mississippi River Bridge project is part of a regional strategy to improve the I-74 corridor and access across the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities. Danielle Mulholland, Iowa State University Engineering graduate (BS in Civil Engineering; MS in Transportation Engineering) and I-74 Project Manager, Iowa Department of Transportation, will discuss the planning and construction of this important bi-state project. Building a bridge over water is a challenging process and Danielle will explain how the bridge is currently being built – from the drilled shafts in the riverbed to the arch. She will also provide information on the state-of-the-art technology and high-quality materials being used to build a bridge that will last over 100 years with minimal maintenance.
