One project. Two bridges. One community moving forward. The new Sass Avenue Bridge is taking shape as part of the same contract as our Onion River Bridge project in Marshfield, Vermont. After the devastating July 2023 floods washed away the original bridge serving a home off Route 2, a temporary crossing restored access. Now, we're building the permanent replacement - a new single-lane bridge with reinforced concrete abutments, improved roadway approaches, and a precast bridg

Around the Clock in Barre When a project keeps a community moving, the work doesn't stop when the sun goes down. The J.P. Sicard crew is working day and night shifts to reconstruct the railroad crossings at Hill Street and South Main Street in Barre City. The project includes new railroad track, upgraded crossing surfaces, drainage improvements, utility upgrades, and modern railroad signal systems. These improvements will make the crossings safer, more reliable, and built to

The transformation at the Orleans County Fairgrounds continues as the new horse barn moves into its final stages of construction. It's rewarding to see this important community project coming together after months of planning and hard work. Our crew at JP Sicard, Inc. has been proud to provide the sitework and infrastructure for this project, helping prepare the foundation for a facility that will serve the fairgrounds for many years to come. Recent milestones include the ins

This project is a full replacement of the bridge that was damaged during the July 2023 flooding. The drone footage captures the installation of the new precast concrete beams that will support the bridge deck. Each beam weighed approximately 110,000 pounds and required two of the largest cranes operating in Vermont working in tandem to safely lift and place them. The new bridge features a 95-foot clear span over the Winooski River and utilizes precast concrete girders to ac

This project consists of replacing a washed-out culvert on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (LVRT) with a new precast concrete box culvert, precast wingwalls, reconstructed stream channel, and rebuilt trail embankment. The work restores a critical trail crossing over Brown Brook while improving the structure's capacity and resilience to future flooding events. Once complete, the culvert will be waterproofed, backfilled, and the trail restored for public use. Concrete was supp
