V&G Rises To Meet Grading and Bridge Challenges In WV
(3rd Quarter 2011)

Vecellio & Grogan’s grading and bridge crews faced especially difficult construction challenges on two West Virginia highway projects, but once again have proved up to the task.

V&G built a new bridge over a 200-ft. chasm near Beckley as part of a downtown bypass, while in Grant County crews dealt with tough rock, steep mountains and limited access in building a new section of Corridor H, also including bridge work.

In addition to its original $19.8 million contract in East Beckley, V&G picked up an adjacent contract for $9.8 million to tie the bypass back into local traffic, while the Corridor H work involves 1.9 miles of highway construction under a $32 million contract.
