Highway Construction
Heavy and highway construction is another core capability of our firm. Over the years, Wyman & Simpson has completed several landmark infrastructure projects including: construction of the S.D. Warren railway at Cumberland Mills (1928) and the Augusta-Manchester Highway (1937) – one of the region’s first “modern” highways. As with our bridge construction division, we work well in challenging environments – whether it is a site with unique geographic or environmental characteristics, rigid project schedules or tight budget constraints. We do so striving to keep projects on schedule and within budget.
