New York, New York
Constructed 1929-1936
The major problem successfully solved on this project had to do with neither design nor methods of construction, but with creating the organization and planning the work.
- E. Warren Bowden, assistant to the chief engineer Civil Engineering magazine, August 1936
The Triborough Bridge Project is a three-branched waterway crossing that connects Manhattan, the Bronx, and Queens at a junction of the East River and the Harlem River in New York City. The complex structure includes a suspension bridge from Wards Island to Queens, a vertical lift span from Randall's Island to Manhattan, a fixed span (designed to be convertible to a lift span) across the Bronx Kills, viaducts, and an innovative three-legged roadway interchange.
To meet the project's aggressive construction schedule, over 2,000 study drawings and 9,000 working drawings were created in just 30 months. As many as 250 engineers were hired to supervise the 65 individual project contracts.
The bridge was the first one built by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (TBTA) during the Great Depression. It proved that toll bridges in New York could generate significant revenue, and this structure's financial success led to the funding of several subsequent TBTA crossings.

Quincy and Milton, Massachusetts
Completed 1826
"I finally received a charter [to build the railway], although there was great opposition in the House. The questions were asked, 'What do we know about railroads? Who ever heard of such a thing? Is it right to take people's land for a project that no one knows anything about?' Such and similar objections were made and onerous restrictions were imposed, but it finally passed by a small majority only."
- Gridley Bryant, 1871
The Granite Railway Company of Quincy was the first commercial railway in the United States. Incorporated in 1826 and designed by Gridley Bryant, the railway relied on horses, rather than steam locomotives, to draw the cars along the tracks. Its primary purpose was to transport granite from Quincy to build the Bunker Hill Monument.
A section of the railway called the Incline was added in 1830 to haul granite from the Pine Ledge quarry to the railway level 84 feet below. Cars moved up and down the 315-foot incline, controlled by an endless conveyor belt-type chain. The Incline continued to operate until the 1940s.
The four-mile railway introduced a variety of rail system innovations, including switches, the turntable, and double-truck railway cars. This primitive railway helped inaugurate the great era of American railroad building.
Facts
- This innovative use of rails met with considerable skepticism as canals were then considered the optimum mode of transportation.
The project began on April 1 and was completed by October 7, a mere six months.
- Bryant designed a swing platform to receive loaded cars at the base of the inclined plane. The platform was balanced by weights and used gears to dump loads and return the vehicles to a horizontal position.
- To construct the road, stone sleepers were laid across the roadbed, eight feet apart. Six-inch-thick wooden rails were placed over the sleepers, then iron plates were fastened to the rails with spikes.

Kittery to Portland, Maine
Completed 1947
Maine's heavy snows led turnpike maintenance personnel to bring "left-handed" snow plows into prominence. By using left-handed and traditional right-handed plows in tandem, they were able to distribute snow more evenly - an important advance that has been emulated by many highway maintenance crews across the country.
In a state known for conservatism and tradition, Maine broke the mold in 1947 with the completion of the nation's second superhighway, the Maine Turnpike. Years before the Interstate Highway system, Maine set the standard for safety, efficiency and economy in highway construction, giving many motorists their first taste of driving at 60 mph - a mile a minute.
The first U.S. highway to be completely self-financed, the project broadened the purview of civil engineers, requiring them to consider revenue projections in addition to safety, cost and other design factors. Initial construction was funded through $20 million in revenue bonds that were repaid from motorists' tolls. To this day, the turnpike's construction, expansion, operation, and maintenance have not cost taxpayers, the state or the federal government a dime.
Facts
- The Maine Turnpike is one of the few remaining toll roads to generate all of its own operating capital, independent of any state highway department funding.
The turnpike turned Maine into a major vacation destination. Today, 55 percent of tolls are paid by out-of-state travelers. The state's tourism revenues total $3 billion a year.
- Traffic has grown from 2,500 vehicles a day to 122,000, a 49-fold increase in just over 50 years. Over 12,000 trucks use the highway daily, carrying 90 percent of Maine's freight.
- In keeping with turnpike traditions of economic and environmental savings, 1.4 million old tires were put to use as fill for embankments on a recently completed interchange, reducing construction costs by $250,000 and avoiding the disposal of 13,000 tons of tires.
