The Marine Parkway Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge Project (MP-09) in New York City is earning widespread industry recognition with several prestigious awards.
Originally opened in 1937, this 540-ft[165m]-long vertical-lift bridge connects visitors to Jamaica Bay in New York. Our team provided design-build services for essential upgrades, including replacing two tower elevator systems and rehabilitating moveable bridge components, such as the span locks, to enhance reliability.
Before these improvements, maintenance teams faced climbing several open-air ladders 120 feet [37m] above traffic — often with heavy tools — to perform regular maintenance. Today, the newly installed elevators are designed to endure various weather conditions to ensure safety and efficiency.
This project’s success has been celebrated with several awards including:
🏆 The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) - New York Excellence in Partnering Award
🏆 The 2024 Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) National Award of Merit for Rehabilitation, Renovation and/or Restoration
🏆 ENR-New York’s 2024 Best Project in the Highway/Bridge category / ENR National 2024 Best of the Best in the Highway/Bridge category finalist (one of twenty projects will be named Project of the Year in March)
🏆 The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) New York Platinum Award of Excellence in the Transportation category
“The MP-09 project was truly a challenging and remarkable one! The project was technically challenging on all fronts, and the design-build team did an excellent job overcoming these challenges and delivering a successful product. These awards are a true testament that hard work and great collaboration will pay off in the long run.” – Sean Gayle, MP-09 Project Manager
Congratulations to the team for their outstanding work in enhancing the safety and functionality of this historic structure!
