Project Highlights: PHOTO CREDIT: BLUEPRINT22 PHOTOGRAPHY T. Y . Lin International (TYLI) evaluated the seismic adequacy of the Vanowen Street Bridge over the Los Angeles River for the City of Los Angeles. Based on the analysis and seismic requirements, TYLI prepared plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the replacement of the bridge superstructure.
