Event Description/Abstract
Over 65,000 vehicles per day use the US 20/US 31 interchange in South Bend. The bridge has suffered multiple truck hits due to low vertical clearance over US 31. Ciorba was tasked with designing options to improve the vertical clearance by over 1’. In conjunction with this objective, the city sought beautification enhancements to the structure. We will review the several renditions that were produced during the city’s search to fund the beautification.
