Mosites Construction Co. was selected to complete this historical restoration of the "Million Dollar Bridge" by the West Virginia Department of Transportation. The project was located in Fairmont, WV, and some of the major components of the work included:

Complete Pier, Rib Wall and Deck reconstruction on both approaches and all three concrete arches. 380 meters long, 15 spans over the Monongahela River.

• 6400 square meters of 37.5 mm thick pneumatically applied dry-mixed shotcrete to all four sides of the existing concrete arches.
• 4734 square meters of corrosion engineering mesh installed as a corrosion inhibitor on all three arches.
• 760 meters of 2.2 meter wide concrete, pedestrian sidewalks.
• 760 meters of architectural precast parapet.
• 39 total architectural precast light poles.

This project provided unique challenges for both Mosites Construction Co. and the architect, HNTB. The structure is listed on the national historic register and was partially federally funded. Mosites Construction Co. overcame many difficult constructability issues through the use of architectural precast and hard work. The project stands today as a symbol of the past and as an important "bridge" to the future.
