Students in Amr ElRagaby’s graduate course in bridge engineering really dug deep Thursday, as guest lecturer Biljana Rajlic discussed her work as the lead structural engineer and design team project manager of the Right Honourable Herb Gray Parkway.
The 11-kilometre, $1.4 billion project will connect Highway 401 to Interstate 75 in Michigan via a new bridge across the Detroit River.
Rajlic discussed the parkway’s design challenges, providing an overview of the roadways, utilities, geotechnical, structural, traffic management, landscaping and environmental design.

A new video captures the often painstaking efforts of a UWindsor researcher working with federal government scientists in the Canadian Arctic trying to establish new commercial fisheries there.
The Lancer women’s hockey team will undergo a location change for its December 1 game against the Queen’s Gaels.
The game will be played at Tecumseh Arena, 12021 McNorton Street in the town of Tecumseh, due to a scheduling conflict at the Lancers’ usual South Windsor Arena.
After losing 3-2 on Saturday to Laurier and 2-1 against Waterloo on Sunday afternoon, the Lancers boast a 9-5-2 record, good for fifth place in Ontario University Athletics.

Samantha Allen likes to get her picture taken. The kinesiology student says that’s why she plans to come out today for a mass group photo celebrating the University’s takeover of the former Windsor Star buildings.
“I think it will be fun,” she says.
