Southland Holdings Inc. played a key role in the Portageville Bridge Replacement project, a major infrastructure upgrade in Letchworth State Park. The new bridge, featuring a 483-foot steel arch main span and six 80-foot girder approach spans, replaced a 140-year-old rail crossing. The upgraded structure allows for heavier railcars and faster train speeds, significantly improving rail performance. The bridge was constructed parallel to the original span and restores the Genesee River to its natural state by leaving no permanent footprint in the river. The project was completed and opened to rail traffic in December 2017.
