The Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company (WB&I) is, or was, a fabricator and erector of iron and steel bridges and other large structures. Information is difficult to find, but according to one source〔(University of Wisconsin ) list of companies〕 it was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1888. The Riemer family of Elm Grove, Wisconsin was heavily affiliated with the company until it was sold in the 1970s. A competitor to American Bridge Company, (in at least one case〔(M-DOT page about ) M-50 bridge across Sandstone Creek in Jackson County, Michigan.〕 both firms submitted bids that matched to the penny), this firm was responsible for many bridges and other large structures in the United States Midwest and elsewhere. The Historic American Engineering Record shows at least 16 projects〔(HAER ) record list of projects mentioning WB&I〕 where WB&I were believed to be either the prime, steel or fabrication contractors. ==Representative Projects== Not meant as an exhaustive list, here are a few projects that WB&I is known to have participated in: *Ashfork-Bainbridge Steel Dam- Arizona - 1898 *Redridge Steel Dam - Michigan - 1901 *Hauser Dam - 1907 *Brownsville & Matamoros International Bridge - Texas - 1908 *MacArthur Bridge - Iowa/Illinois - 1917 *Ironton-Russell Bridge - Ironton, Ohio - 1922〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.historicbridges.org/ohio/irontonrussell/mitigate.jpg )〕 *U.S. Rt. 90 Pearl River Bridge - Mississippi / Louisiana - 1933 *Jefferson Street Viaduct - Iowa - 1936 *Hutsonville Bridge - Indiana - 1939 * Aloha Stadium - Hawaii * Lincoln Center movable stage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
