In a journey full of twists, like the meandering Muregeya River, a new path emerged, presenting unexpected challenges and significant impact. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dF7SBb8U When landslides jeopardized our original project, our Bridges to Prosperity team from TYLin, Introba, and Dar quickly pivoted, applying the expertise gained from B2P’s innovative hybrid suspension bridge project last year. With renewed focus, we embarked on building a 377-foot bridge over the treacherous Muregeya River. This crucial bridge will serve over 2,500 residents, providing safe passage and connecting them to markets, communities, and schools. Through these efforts, we hope to transform lives, weaving hope and opportunity into the fabric of the Rubengera community. Discover more about the forces of good that brought this project to life ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dF7SBb8U #TYLinConnects #BridgesToProsperity #B2P #engineeringforgood #HumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity #SidaraCollaborative

We supported the New York City Department of Transportation's development of delivery microhubs; it's thrilling to see them roll out across the city! These facilities, where cargo is transferred to smaller, low-emission vehicles for local delivery, will cut truck traffic and make for safer streets. #delivery #cargo #freight #sustainability #transportation #UrbanPlanning
