US 50 over Potomac River at Gormania

The US 50 bridge is the only crossing of the Potomac River between Maryland and West Virginia for a distance of 20 miles. Thus, not only is it a through route for east-west motorists, but it serves an important role for local residents and employees.

In the early 1980s, the then existing bridge was in poor condition and needed to be replaced. We provided the surveys and design of both a temporary structure to carry traffic during construction and the 350-foot long replacement structure over the Potomac River and the CSX railroad.
