From Groundbreaking to Ribbon Cutting: Recent Project Milestones
Recent weeks have marked several meaningful milestones for Sanford Contractors, spanning the full lifecycle of our work, from project completion to new beginnings.
Our team recently attended the ribbon cutting for the I-295 Fayetteville Outer Loop, marking the completion of a decades-long infrastructure effort first envisioned in the late 1980s. Sanford Contractors was proud to serve as a trusted partner on this landmark project, delivering multiple bridges along the corridor, including the final bridge package, which spanned five job sites and included six bridge structures, two of the widest bridge decks in company history.
We also celebrated the ribbon cutting for the New Hope Creek Restoration project at Duke Forest, where Sanford Contractors constructed the new clear-span bridge over New Hope Creek. The project is part of a long-term, collaborative restoration effort and allows the creek to flow freely through the Duke Forest for the first time in more than a century, benefiting both the surrounding ecosystem and community.
While these projects reach completion, new work is getting underway. Our Commercial Building Division recently broke ground on the new Visitor Center at the House in the Horseshoe State Historic Site, a project that will enhance the visitor experience through modern exhibits, improved accessibility, and expanded facilities. With more projects breaking ground in January, these moments reflect the range of work we’re proud to deliver and the partnerships that make it possible.
