TKDA’s bridge group has a new manager and a heavy workload as the 2021 construction season ramps up.
The St. Paul-based engineering, architectural and planning consulting firm recently promoted Lindsey Lawrence to lead the group. At present, the group includes 12 employees with another coming soon.
A senior registered engineer and experienced bridge inspector, Lawrence is a member of the Minnesota Surveyors and Engineers Society. She joined TKDA in the mid-2000s after graduating from North Dakota State University.
During her time with TKDA, Lawrence has helped plan and design more than 50 bridges and has inspected and rated upwards of 250 municipal and county bridges for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
TKDA Surface Transportation Division Vice President Matt Christensen describes Lawrence as an “extremely talented design engineer” who “values the high professional standards and key relationships needed to build on our success in the bridge group.”
In the following interview, Lawrence speaks with Reporter Brian Johnson about her new duties at TKDA, notable projects, the bridge group’s workload, and her love of salmon fishing in Alaska, among other topics.
