Linda Figg, a 1981 civil engineering graduate and president and CEO of FIGG Bridge Engineers, was recognized as a Woman of Distinction by Auburn’s Women’s Resource Center this February for her many professional and civic accomplishments. Figg has established new bridge technologies that are invaluable to the long-term viability of our nation’s infrastructure and has pioneered a unique program that involves members of the community in selecting aesthetic features for local bridge projects. With construction values totaling $10 billion, FIGG bridges have been completed, are under construction or are being designed in 38 states. She seeks to share her engineering knowledge and consideration for others by volunteering, along with many other FIGG team members, for Habitat for Humanity, as well as several other organizations. Figg serves on the board of directors of the Construction Industry Round Table, an advocacy group comprised of 100 CEOs of America’s leading engineering, architecture and construction companies. She is a former board member of the American Road and Transportation Builders Association and serves on the executive committee of the American Segmental Bridge Institute. She is also a member of the Auburn Alumni Engineering Council.
