Scope Of Work
Wellsburg Bridge is a significant project for Flatiron and the state of West Virginia. Awarded in 2016, the $131 million Wellsburg Bridge is Flatiron’s first project in the state and West Virginia’s first alternative delivery project.
Separated by the Ohio River, residents in the towns of Brilliant, Ohio and Wellsburg, West Virginia must travel eight miles north or thirteen miles south to the nearest river-crossing points. In addition, because of traffic volume projections and the need for a safe and reliable span for commerce and emergency responders, the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) sought proposals to build a new bridge that would improve transportation infrastructure as well as enhance regional business growth.
Flatiron submitted qualifications in March 2016 and WVDOT awarded Flatiron the contract later that year. Flatiron also provided a unique alternative delivery method. Construction began in April 2018.
