Our History

Engineering Trust Through the Decades

1936

The American Culvert Company

Herman and Ted Rogovin formed The American Culvert Company in 1936. It later became The Ohio Bridge Corporation in 1952. The company began engineering and manufacturing the first factory, all-welded steel component truss and beam bridges in the country. Customers included local governments, townships, counties and small towns, and our founding fathers instilled the beliefs that became our mission, vision and values today.

1957

A Dream Becomes Reality

Rising demand for dependable steel crossings pushed the company to expand its fabrication operations and refine the all-welded truss designs that set it apart from cast-in-place alternatives.

1958

Growing Beyond Ohio

New shop capacity allowed the team to take on longer spans and serve counties and communities well beyond its home state, building a reputation for quality and reliability.

1959

Standardizing the Truss

Engineering refinements and standardized steel components made bridges faster to fabricate and simpler for local crews to assemble and erect in the field.

1966

The Power of the Era

Through the nation's postwar building boom, the company supplied steel bridges for the highways, county roads and fast-growing towns reshaping America

1987

U.S. Bridge is Born

In 1987, to more accurately represent the growing presence throughout the country, the company became known as U.S. Bridge.

1988

Into the Modern Shop

Under the U.S. Bridge name, the company modernized fabrication with CNC drilling and all-bolted connections, raising precision and shortening field installation.

2005

A National Partner

AISC-certified fabrication and deeper in-house engineering positioned U.S. Bridge as a trusted partner for state DOTs, counties and private developers nationwide.

2018

Bridges, Shipped Anywhere

Decades of experience came together in a complete lineup of prefabricated steel bridge designs and DIY bridge kits, delivered across the United States and around the world.

Today

Connecting Communities

Today, U.S. Bridge keeps engineering, fabricating and delivering custom steel bridges from Cambridge, Ohio, backed by the same family-driven values it was founded on.

A Family Business

Founded on Family, Led by People

Behind every bridge we design and fabricate is a team of talented employees. For more than 80 years, we have focused on giving our people the resources and experience to grow throughout the company and deliver the highest level of service in the industry. More than steel trusses, beams and decks, it is our people who make these bridges unique.

A Family Business

Celebrating 90 Years of U.S. Bridge

In 2026, U.S. Bridge marked 90 years of engineering, fabricating, and delivering steel bridge solutions from Cambridge, Ohio to communities around the world.

The anniversary celebration brought together employees, family members, partners, customers, and public officials to honor the people and values that have shaped the company since 1936. Guests toured the fabrication floor, shared stories from across generations, and helped commemorate a meaningful milestone: the official renaming of 201 Wheeling Avenue to 100 U.S. Bridge Way.

For U.S. Bridge, 90 years is more than a number. It represents generations of leadership, thousands of bridges, and the continued commitment of a family business built on integrity, service, and craftsmanship.

As we look ahead, the foundation remains the same: building bridges that connect communities, support infrastructure, and carry the U.S. Bridge legacy forward.
