Topic

What are you doing for supper this Monday night 9/27 at 6 ET? Grab a bite with Dean Janet Callahan and Tess Ahlborn, Professor of Civil, Environmental, and Geospatial Engineering at Michigan Tech. The Portage Lake Bridge connecting Houghton and Hancock, Michigan, more commonly known as the Lift Bridge, was named as an ASCE National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in late 2019 following a State Historic Landmark designation in 2018. Learn about the crossings prior to the current Lift Bridge, the people involved in designing and building the Lift Bridge, what makes the Lift Bridge so unique to the region and the nation to proudly earn the National Landmark designation--and when we will celebrate all this together in-person.  During Husky Bites we'll learn a lot more about the wonders of the Lift Bridge from the trio who submitted the Lift Bridge’s 300-page application to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

Join us early at 5:45 p.m. for conversation and a weather update.
