THE TEAM BEHIND THE WASHINGTON BRIDGE REBUILD
The new Washington Bridge will be delivered by a design-build team led by Walsh Construction – one of the nation’s top bridge builders which has been building bridges for over 125 years. Walsh is the number one bridge builder in the country for the last ten years according to Engineering News Record.
The team is composed of firms with years of experience in delivering high quality transportation projects. In fact, some of the teams that worked with Walsh on bridges of similar design will be working on this project, providing greater efficiencies and seamless coordination on all aspects of the project.
Together, our partnership reflects a shared vision: to deliver a resilient, high-quality bridge that will last 100 years and beyond.
