Building Bridges and Reefs: Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge’s Environmental Legacy in the Potomac River
The old Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge stood as both a testament to the past and a source of frustration for commuters. Since the late 2000s, the bridge earned notoriety for experiencing substantial traffic congestion, made worse by its design and the surge in traffic from southern Maryland—particularly during holidays and weekends. With narrow lanes, a steep incline and a reduced speed limit, vehicles crossing the bridge faced challenges, slowing down and merging in a way that often led to backu...

Water Works: The Loading Rate Wars May Not Have a Winner
I expect most of us agree that innovation is good, and that sentiment holds true in the field of stormwater management. More than two decades of focus on improving the water quality and reducing the total quantity of stormwater discharges has spawned a substantial amount of innovation in the stormwater control measure (SCM) space. We’ve learned invaluable lessons through trial and error paired with laboratory and field monitoring that allow us to design SCMs to be increasingly effective, and our...
