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

Famous Amos
To help support his large family, Amos D. Bridge started hauling goods, managing timberlands— officially creating in 1875 what would become Bridgecorp.

Road Warriors
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.
 


Reporting to Uncle Sam
Government projects would serve as a mainstay for Bridgecorp during the Great Depression and World War II.

Million Dollar Mark
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.
 



Rolling Down I-95

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.

Hot Top King
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.
 

Beautiful “CoverGirl”
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.

Moonlighting in Portland
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.

Powerful Partnership
In 2004, Bridgecorp was purchased by the aggregate powerhouse Pike Industries, allowing Bridgecorp to benefit from Pike’s financial strength and economies of scale.
 

Zero as Hero
Bridgecorp is a recent winner of Associated Constructors of Maine’s safety award for zero incidents in over 50,000 work hours.
