Happy Transportation Tuesday!
MaineDOT recently announced that the new Frank J. Wood Bridge is officially open to traffic! The original bridge first opened in 1932 and served as an important connection between Brunswick and Topsham for generations. As traffic grew and the bridge aged, MaineDOT worked with local communities to reimagine this crossing for the future. The result is a bridge designed with today’s needs in mind, offering improved safety, accessibility, and durability, while also highlighting the beauty of the area. Some final finishing touches are still underway, and an official ribbon-cutting celebration is planned for 2026!

Exciting news from our member Sargent! The company is reshaping its Mid-Atlantic operations as the region continues to grow at an incredible pace.
Sargent has promoted Travis Ridky and Nick Rosswog to Operations Managers, a move that comes as the Virginia and North Carolina teams see record growth. The Mid-Atlantic region added nearly $30 million in volume between 2024 and 2025 and is on track to double again by 2026, a first in Sargent’s history.
Both Travis and Nick have built their careers at Sargent, working their way through field and project leadership roles. Now, they’ll be focused on building strong project teams, supporting field crews, and helping the region take on bigger, more complex work.
This restructuring was led by Vice President of Operations & COO – South Justin Porter, and it brings the Mid-Atlantic in line with Sargent’s successful structure in Maine. The new setup creates more opportunities for employee-owners, strengthens mentoring and succession planning, and positions the region for long-term success.
What started as a small group of Mainers working out of a job trailer back in 1994 has now grown into a major Mid-Atlantic operation, and this next chapter is a big one.
Congrats to Travis, Nick, and the entire Sargent team! 👏
