ҹɫ��Ƶ recently received three awards from the NH/VT chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors for the completed Sarah Mildred Long Bridge project. Kaven Philbrook and Mike Franck accepted these awards on behalf of ҹɫ��Ƶ at the annual Excellence in Construction Awards Ceremony held on October 24, 2019. This event recognizes top contractors in the region in several categories. For the three year bridge project, ҹɫ��Ƶ received the prestigious Excellence Award in the Commercial Over $10M/Infrastructure category, the “Best of the Best” Chairman’s Award, and for Best Practices, the Community Service Certificate of Merit.

The Sarah Mildred Long Bridge is a lift bridge spanning the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine, carrying U.S. Route 1 Bypass traffic. The ҹɫ��Ƶ team’s technically innovative design blending form and function created an impressive and iconic landmark as well as improved traffic flow. The bridge allows for a higher vertical clearance for marine traffic resulting in 70% less drawbridge openings. Most importantly, this project was done with a commitment to safety, working over 600,000 safe hours with zero lost time injuries.
