About Bridgecorp Earthwork Construction

Here are a few milestones
from Bridgecorp’s long, exciting journey as a company.

|
|
To help support his large family, Amos D. Bridge started hauling goods, managing timberlands— officially creating in 1875 what would become Bridgecorp.
|
 |
When road paving came along in the 1880s, Amos and his five sons were among pavings’ early pioneers. The company also
would go on to build the first concrete road in Massachusetts.

Government projects would serve as a mainstay for Bridgecorp during the Great Depression and World War II.
|
 |
In 1952, Bridgecorp was awarded the contract for the first million dollar road project in Maine along Route 201, using the first Gradall excavator in the state.
|
| |
|
When President Eisenhower convinced Congress to fund the Interstate Highway System in 1956, Bridgecorp was a major player well into the 70s, clearing the way for generations of travel on projects stretching from Portland to Medway in Maine.
|
 |
Bridgecorp purchased the state’s first portable drum hot-top plant in the early 70s. This enabled Bridgecorp to take the lead in Maine DOT’s thin-overlay program, smoothing roads until major work could be scheduled.
|
| |
|
The October 1994 cover of Down East magazine showed off Bridgecorp’s work on Route 201 along Wyman Lake. Later that decade, Bridgecorp broke ground on a new Maine venture— cranberry bogs.
|
|
During the mid-90s, Bridgecorp completed a $7 million rehab of Portland’s I-295 in only 4 months with virtually no disruption to traffic by working round the clock.
|
 |
In 2004, Bridgecorp was purchased by the aggregate powerhouse Pike Industries, allowing Bridgecorp to benefit from Pike’s financial strength and economies of scale.
|
| |
Bridgecorp is a recent winner of Associated Constructors of Maine’s safety award for zero incidents in over 50,000 work hours. |
