PROJECT: U.S. Public Road Vehicular BridgePURPOSE: Public Vehicular Usage
The town of York specified AXION’s STRUXURE® material for its Birch HillRoad bridge – the first public roadway bridge in the United States to be con-structed entirely out of 100% recycled plastic. Completed December, 2011.
“ I recommended thermoplastic over other options due to the structure’s environmental credentials combined with its durability and minimum maintenance requirements... It bridges York’s historic past to the future.”– Dean Lessard, York, Maine’s Director of Public Works
