The OHL Group has been awarded new contracts in the U.S., in the states of Massachusetts, Illinois, California and Florida, jointly totaling more than 300 million euros. 

Of interest are the awards obtained by its subsidiary Judlau Contracting, with head office in New York and specializing in civil engineering works, in order to demolish and reconstruct the Woods Memorial Bridge and Revere Beach Parkway (Route 16) viaducts over the MBTA railway, and the Malden Canal in Everett-Medford (Massachusetts). The contracts, awarded by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Mass DOT), for approximately 65 million euros, have allowed the OHL Group to enter Massachusetts, extending its presence in the USA to ten states: Florida, New York, Illinois, Virginia, Texas, California, Washington, Connecticut, Maryland and Massachusetts. 

Furthermore, OHL’s NY subsidiary has also added a new contract, of approximately 55 million euros, after achieving the I-90 (Mannheim to Oakton) project in Chicago (Illinois), awarded by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority. The contract covers road extension and reconstruction works, and extension works on several bridges. 

In turn, OHL USA has been awarded several contracts in Los Angeles (California), for more than 40 million euros, to include the Palos Verdes Reservoir award, covering the demolition, adjustment and installation of several structures (such as the control tower, dumpsite and drainage system, paving and electricity facilities).
