Bridge of the Year

Roads & Bridges’ Top 10 Bridge awards, created in 2000, recognize the top projects in North America. Each year, nominations are submitted to the R&B editorial staff, which determines the Top 10 list based on project challenges, impact to region and scope of work.

In 2014 the top bridge chosen by Roads and Bridges is the I-91 bridge in Brattleboro over the West River.

  • It deserves the recognition

    It really is a spectacular project. Your pictures, as always, are great. I hope you retire into a new career as a photographer. : )

    This is a good example of citizens bitching about the first design offered up, but once the feedback was received, a much better – dare we say award-winning – bridge design came about as a result.

    The company has been top-notch about keeping people informed.

    Let’s hope the unusual cement pouring works! : )
