- The Brooklyn Bridge and the Erie Canal are well-known feats of American civil engineering. The building of the the Transcontinental Railroad is another remarkable accomplishment, symbolizing the vital part that civil engineers have played in the growth and development of the United States. Yet as Daniel Schodek reveals in this unique and extensive survey, there are many other landmarks of regional or local importance that deserve our attention.
