Video Description: What it is like to design and build a structure to span the most traveled river in America? How far down in the bedrock do the foundations need to go? How do you design for seismic forces and fluctuating river levels and speeds? How were the foundations built? What did it take to drill the shafts into the bedrock and pour the concrete? How were the waters of the river dammed off to make construction possible? These questions form the focus of our learning as viewers see images and view videos of the construction process and hear from the professionals working every day to build the bridge now named by Congress as the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge.

• Provide the video to students who are engaging in an independent project related to engineering and/or bridge building.
• Use the video in a flipped learning activity and have students come to class prepared to share two insights gained by watching the video and one topic they would like to research more.
