On September 14, 2001, an errant barge damaged the bridge between Port Isabel and Padre Island in south Texas. Five people died when they drove off the opened bridge in the dark. After the structure was repaired and reopened, James Mercier was tasked with designing and installing a way of warning drivers that the bridge had been damaged. The system restored local confidence in the repaired structure. James will be travelling to the Mile High City all the way from Texas to share this story with us, and explain both how the Electrical and the Traffic Engineering involved to make this project functional.
