In celebration of Women’s History Month, we highlight Marilyn Jorgensen Reece, a pioneering American civil engineer and the first woman licensed as a civil engineer in California. In the 1960s, she designed a groundbreaking freeway interchange in Los Angeles that efficiently managed fast-moving traffic, an innovation ahead of its time. Today, that very interchange bears her name in recognition of her lasting impact on civil engineering and transportation infrastructure. Her legacy continues to inspire future generations of engineers. #WomensHistoryMonth
