🏆 Big Night in Chantilly!
What an incredible evening at the Heavy Construction Contractors Association's annual HCCA Safety & Infrastructure Awards Banquet! We are thrilled to announce that Shirley Contracting Company, LLC walked away with three major honors tonight at the Chantilly National Golf and Country Club.
These awards are a testament to our team’s relentless commitment to safety, innovation, and delivering critical infrastructure ahead of schedule.
🚛 Safety Award for Trucking Operations over 26,000 GVW and between 500,000 and 1,000,000 miles
Safety isn't just a priority; it’s our culture. We are honored to receive the Trucking Safety Award, recognizing our team’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards on the road and protecting our most valuable asset—our people.
🌉 Rockland Road | Excellence in Infrastructure ($10M-$20M)
This project solved a major safety bottleneck in Front Royal by replacing a dangerous at-grade crossing (averaging 25 trains a day!) with a new 220-foot, 3-span bridge.
The Shirley Edge: Through proactive coordination with Norfolk Southern, our team opened the bridge to traffic nearly five months early, significantly improving safety for the local community and the Virginia Inland Port.
🛣️ I-495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (NEXT) | Excellence in Infrastructure (>$100M)
As a lead subcontractor to Lane Construction on this massive 2.5-mile extension, we tackled everything from complex phasing to the construction of seven new bridges.
The Scope: From Big Beam Weekend to overcoming changes and challenges, this project transforms regional mobility and provides vital new access to the Dulles Toll Road and George Washington Memorial Parkway.
A huge thank you to the Heavy Construction Contractors Association (HCCA) for the recognition, and to our incredible partners, subcontractors, and hardworking crews who make these achievements possible.
