A Nebraska Department of Transportation truck drives across the aging Platte River Bridge as sensors record the movement and vibrations of the bridge. Trucks drove across the bridge singularly and in unison numerous times at varying speeds so the sensors could collect data for each of the runs. NOBL, the Nebraska Outdoor Bridge Lab as part of the College of Engineering is turning two bridge sites (for a total of three bridges) into a national research and educational facility for bridge health and testing. This bridge is across the Platte River on Highway 92 between Yutan and Omaha. August 9, 2021. Photo by Craig Chandler / University Communication.
