Michael G. Bruce, PE, Managing Principal

What Mike Bruce likes about engineering is the chance to do something different every day. No matter how routine a project,
he is always looking for the challenge that makes it unique.
And as a founding principal of ABMB, he has had plenty of opportunity to do so. Mike has directed or been a lead designer
on numerous transportation projects that run the gamut from
rural highways and urban and suburban corridors to interstate highways and multilevel directional interchanges. He is known
for his extensive experience in traffic, civil, and structural engineering, his knowledge of code requirements and
standards, and his responsiveness to clients.

Mike also looks for better ways to get the routine parts of jobs done more effectively and less expensively—so he is constantly monitoring new technologies for highway design and traffic engineering. He is an active proponent of computer modeling and simulation, both to analyze alternatives and to present them to clients. Quite naturally, he’s the principal in charge of our technical and administrative IT systems, and he’s the reason ABMB is well-regarded for its innovative approach to analysis and design.

Under Mike’s leadership, ABMB has produced a comprehensive traffic model for downtown Baton Rouge, proposed an innovative solution to a major I-10 bottleneck that reduced congestion dramatically, and demonstrated the benefits, both in terms of cost and effectiveness, of a continuous flow intersection solution to the congested US 61 corridor in Baton Rouge.

Mike is also actively involved in the Smart Growth Task Force in Baton Rouge, whose goal is to apply the principles of new urbanism to existing systems and to encourage diverse modes of transportation.
