WV-VOAD ​Bridge Replacement

​JZ Engineering is collaborating with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) and West Virginia Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (WV-VOAD) to replace vehicular bridges destroyed by flooding during the summers of 2015 and 2016. The bridges will end the isolation from vital resources that the families are currently subjected to.
​

Check out the video coverage below, an interview on National Public Radio and the following articles on the Popular Science website ("Climate-Proofing") and the MDS website ("Young Engineers"). Recently the 50th bridge of this project was completed as discussed in this article by WV VOAD.
