Join in the Section’s ASCE Historic Civil Engineering Landmark Program 

ASCE has designated only 7 of the hundreds of possible eligible projects as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.  The current list can be viewed at ASCE’s website www.asce.org/landmarks.  In preparation for the Section’s 100th anniversary in 2018, the Section’s History and Heritage Committee is seeking volunteers who are interested in helping identify several possible projects to be nominated for Historical Civil Engineering Landmarks.  If you are interested, please contact the History and Heritage Committee Chair Todd Wilson (todd.wilson.pe@gmail.com).

Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks: 

Smithfield St. Bridge

Allegheny Portage RR

Kinzua Viaduct

Horseshoe Curve

The ASCE History & Heritage serves to both document and recognize the accomplishments of the ASCE Pittsburgh Section as we approach our 100th Anniversary, and to recognize the civil engineering history of Western Pennsylvania.

Chaired by Todd Wilson, author of the newly released Pittsburgh's Bridges, Images of America.
