Bridge Crew

The Bridge Crew not only builds bridges, but also many of their components including fabrication of beams, decks, posts, and all the parts that make our bridges safe and effective. They also fabricate precast concrete such as guiderail anchors, bridge decks, catch basins, and Jersey barriers. The Bridge Crew also fabricates parts for DPW equipment when needed and repairs metal items such as buckets and tool boxes.

About Us

Bridge Maintenance

The Bridge Maintenance Crew removes debris and vegetation from bridge approaches, decks, and wearing surfaces in order to facilitate proper drainage; prevent water and salt from seeping into the decks; and reduce moisture around the wing walls and fascias. This is done to slow the process of corrosion and deterioration of the structural elements and wearing surfaces.

County Road Maps

At our main office in Delhi, you can buy county road maps for $3.50 each. For an additional 50 cents, we’ll mail the map to you.

We also sell town road maps for $1 at our main office. These smaller, significantly older maps (1987) have a road index printed on the back. Due to their age, they are not 911 compliant, so it’s best to consider them as a keepsake and not for everyday use.

Call our Main Office for the map of your choice and to schedule a time to pick up: (607) 832-5800.
