U.S. Bridge is entering a bold new chapter of growth with a multi-million-dollar expansion in Guernsey County, Ohio — and the impact will be felt far beyond the local community. This strategic investment enhances manufacturing capacity, drives job creation, and positions U.S. Bridge to meet America’s growing need for prefabricated and modular infrastructure solutions.

A Major Milestone: Expansion in Cambridge

U.S. Bridge recently announced a significant investment to expand its operations in Cambridge (Guernsey County), marking one of the most substantial upgrades in the company’s long history. The project includes the construction of a large new prefabrication facility — one of the largest manufacturing buildings in the state — as well as the installation of advanced production lines and upgraded equipment. 

This expansion supports hundreds of millions in new infrastructure work and creates approximately 41 new full-time jobs, generating more than $2.3 million in new annual payroll. 

At its core, this investment enables U.S. Bridge to scale its manufacturing footprint, optimize workflow efficiency, and meet the escalating demands from public and private bridge projects nationwide.

Boosted Capacity Through Advanced Manufacturing

A centerpiece of the expansion is a new 70,000-square-foot building dedicated to advanced welding and prefab production. This space allows for:

• Expanded fabrication capacity with more workstations and advanced machinery. 
• Streamlined modular production lines that reduce lead times and increase consistency. 
• Integration of modern welding technologies that support higher-complexity projects.

These improvements dramatically increase the company’s ability to build larger and more structurally complex bridges. With additional space and modernized workflows, U.S. Bridge is better positioned to compete for large-scale infrastructure contracts across the U.S. and internationally.

Why Prefabrication Matters for Modern Infrastructure

The industry is shifting toward prefabricated and modular bridge solutions — and for good reason. Prefabricated bridges are built in factory environments, where precision and quality control are higher and timeline variability is lower. Unlike traditional on-site construction, modular fabrication can:

• Reduce construction time significantly, often cutting months off schedules. 
• Minimize traffic disruption because large sections arrive ready to install. 
• Deliver cost efficiencies through streamlined labor and reduced downtime. 

National infrastructure programs — from local road systems to federal highway improvements — increasingly favor modular approaches that deliver both speed and durability.

Expanding the Bridge Market with Enhanced Production

With its enhanced prefab capabilities, U.S. Bridge is poised to:

• Bid more competitively on larger public works projects, including major highway and interstate bridges. 
• Support accelerated bridge construction (ABC) initiatives where quick turnaround is mission-critical. 
• Answer the demand for resilient steel bridge solutions across rural, urban, and industrial applications. 

These capabilities align with national infrastructure goals that emphasize resilience, faster delivery, and cost containment.

Creating Value Locally and Nationally

U.S. Bridge’s expansion benefits not only the infrastructure industry but also the local economy of Guernsey County and Southeast Ohio. The influx of jobs, increased payroll, and stronger manufacturing backbone helps fuel regional development. Partnerships with organizations like JobsOhio and Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE) highlight the project’s importance at both community and state levels. 

Looking Ahead

As the demand for modern, sustainable infrastructure accelerates, U.S. Bridge’s expanded prefab facility positions the company as an industry frontrunner. With enhanced capacity, advanced welding lines, and a focus on modular production, U.S. Bridge is not just building bridges — it’s building a future that delivers faster timelines, lower costs, and broader impact across America’s infrastructure landscape.
