Meduxnekeag River Bridge

HEB was engaged by the Town of Houlton, Maine to design a 10-foot wide, 186-foot long glulaminate timber arch with suspended deck bridge. The deck is hung from the arches with 1.25" diameter steel rods. The bridge provides handicap accessibility and can carry small vehicles such as snowmobiles and maintenance equipment. It connects a trail system along the river to Houlton’s historic Market Square District. HEB also designed the approaches and parking area. Construction cost was $752,000.

The bridge won a 2005 National Recognition Award in the ACEC Excellence in Engineering Awards Program.
