Bridges & Highways
Bridge steel erection, rehabilitation, heat straightening and emergency repair for state DOTs, turnpike and toll authorities, and the primes that build for them — across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

HSE supports bridge and highway projects involving steel erection, bridge steel rehabilitation, heat straightening, emergency steel repair, girder repair or replacement, MOT-sensitive work, constrained access, and heavy rigging. Our crews arrive prequalified — bid through the prime, or with HSE as prime — with the certifications the owner asks for and the engineering to plan every pick before the first crane is set.
- AISC Certified Erector with Bridge Endorsement
- Licensed Professional Engineers on staff for erection engineering and lift plans
- Experienced ironworkers, foremen and superintendents
- Self-performing in PA, NY, DE, MD, VA and DC
State DOT & Interstate Bridges
Girder erection over live traffic on the Capital Beltway, I-95 and the region’s busiest interchanges — flyovers, river crossings and phased replacements where the structure has to carry traffic while it is being rebuilt. VDOT, MDOT SHA, DelDOT and NYSDOT work, bid through the prime.
- Interchanges, flyovers and river crossings
- MOT-sensitive sequencing with night and weekend closures
- Curved, skewed and staged girder erection
Turnpike, Toll & Bridge Authorities
Authority-let bridge rehabilitation and replacement, where lane rental, night windows and traffic revenue shape the erection plan more than the steel does. HSE plans the lifts to the authority’s closure calendar.
- Girder replacement inside night and weekend closure windows
- Bridge steel rehabilitation and strengthening
- Lift plans and MOT sequencing submitted by in-house PEs
Bridge Steel Rehabilitation & Emergency Repair
When a girder is struck, HSE responds: heat straightening, section repair and member replacement that put the bridge back in service without a full replacement — including red-flag emergency repairs for NYSDOT.
- Emergency response to impact-damaged girders
- Heat straightening as an alternative to member replacement
- Girder repair, section replacement and strengthening
Rail, Transit & Other Public Owners
The same bridge steel, procured a different way. HSE has erected structural steel for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail extension around live roadways, and brings the same prequalified crews to rail, transit, federal and airport-landside bridge work as those owners let it.
- Aerial guideways and transit structures
- Erection windows coordinated with rail and roadway operations
- Prequalified for owner-specific certification and security requirements
Rigging, Heavy Lifts & Site Logistics
Lift planning by our own engineers and crane coordination on every pick — constrained-access and multi-crane picks, laydown and delivery timing planned and executed by one team.
- Specialty lift planning by in-house engineers
- Constrained-access and multi-crane picks
- Site logistics, laydown and delivery timing
What Comes With the Crew
The certifications a DOT, authority or prime asks for at prequalification, held in house.
AISC Certified Erector
With Bridge Endorsement — the combination most state DOTs and bridge primes require.
Licensed Professional Engineers
In-house erection engineering, rigging design and lift planning. PE licensure in ten states.
Crane Coordination
Crane selection, positioning and lift execution coordinated by HSE on every pick.
Part of the High Family
Fabrication at High Steel Structures and heavy haul at High Transit sit behind our crews under one family.
