Frank M. Masters was involved in over 20 bridges in the USA between 1913–1972

The list of bridge constructions with the participation of Frank M. Masters chronologically shows the bridge construction projects in which Frank M. Masters (1883–1974) was involved in his almost 70-year career.

After completing his studies, Masters worked in various positions under Ralph Modjeski (1861-1940) in Chicago , Pittsburgh and New York City , where he meanwhile ran his own engineering office. In 1924 he became a partner of Ralph Modjeski and built a large number of bridges with him by the mid-1930s. In 1936 Masters took over the Modjeski & Masters engineering office , which he managed until his retirement in 1972. It persists to this day and is still engaged in building and maintaining bridges.

Bridge constructions

• Name: Name of the bridge according to the lemma in the German Wikipedia .
• Completion: year of completion of the bridge. The start of planning and construction as well as the involvement of Masters can be several years earlier, information can be found in the main articles or individual evidence. In the case of conversions or extensions as well as later new buildings, the year of the original construction or the new building is given in brackets.
• Bridge type: construction form of the bridge . Some bridges are combinations of several different structures and movable bridge sections can also be integrated. As a rule, girder bridges for the driveways are not taken into account.
• Span: Longest span between the load-bearing elements such as abutments or bridge piers, in arch bridges the distance between the arch ends on the transoms .
• Total length: total length of the bridge or sections between the abutments , usually including the access roads.
• Client: Company or authority that has hired Masters or Modjeski & Masters .
• Role of Masters: Type of involvement of Masters in the construction project. As chief engineer , he was the lead engineer responsible for the design and execution of the bridge. For collaborations where the exact contribution of Masters is not known, only the company name of the engineering office is given.
• Involved engineers / architects: Known engineers and architects involved in the construction project and their role or contribution.

The information on bridges that do not yet have an article in the German-language Wikipedia is referenced by the individual records listed under Name . If individual information in the table is not referenced via the main article, additional individual references are given at the relevant point.
