The L. C. Whitford Co., Inc. (LCW) is well known as one of Western New York’s premier bridge builders. Since shifting its focus to bridges in 1972, LCW has completed literally thousands of bridge projects. These projects have included structural steel/concrete composite, overhead truss, pre-cast bulb tee, box beam, and NEXT beams, timber deck, fiber-reinforced polymer, and pedestrian bridges, as well as many three- and four-sided box culvert structures. LCW also specializes in all facets of bridge rehabilitation including deck, joint, and bearing replacements, steel and concrete repairs, micro-overlays, and structure waterproofing.

LCW’s bridge projects include the twin 2,600-foot steel/concrete composite bridges on I-86 (formerly NYS Rt. 17) in Allegany, NY; major steel replacement and repairs on the three-span overhead truss Bridge Street Bridge in Corning, NY that was completed 53 days ahead of schedule; the total removal and replacement of a 660-foot steel trestle railroad bridge without disrupting train traffic in Westfield, NY; the removal and replacement of over 1,200 structural bearings on several bridges on Rt. 198 (Scajaquada Expressway) in Buffalo, NY; and the three-span adjacent pre-stressed box beam 5th Avenue Bridge in Warren, PA.

LCW’s specialty highway-related projects have included slab repairs, culvert rehabilitations, complete bridge reconstruction, and retaining walls.
