The United States Army Corps of Engineers called for security upgrades to the East River bridges under its Rapid Response/Immediate Response Program in 2008.
Historic icons in New York City, the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges provide transportation across the East River for hundreds of thousands of commuters daily. safety on these significant passageways is of utmost importance.

Conti the security upgrades for each bridge to meet their unique designs. This included providing a uniform appearance and maintaining a K-12 security rating to make them safer for pedestrians and drivers alike.

Security upgrades included custom designed and fabricated fixed bollards, retractable electric bollards between the three bridges and stainless steel ornamental fencing, all of which as access control and hazard mitigation. The team worked diligently to maintain the sites’ aesthetics while making these upgrades structurally sound.

Conti executed the project in nine completely different work areas around the three bridges, each with its own unique and specific work hours, in very busy pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Additionally, some sites featured very tight work areas and traffic requiring Conti to work during evening hours.
