Supporting the Neil R. Underwood Memorial Bridge Project with Hydrauli-Flex Hoses
At The Hose Company, we take pride in manufacturing hydraulic solutions that drive progress on critical infrastructure projects across the nation. Hydrauli-Flex Hoses, are at the heart of the equipment being used for the replacement of the Neil R. Underwood Memorial Bridge in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.
This $107.5 million project, managed by SPS New England, Inc. (SPS NE), will replace the aging bridge with a modern structure designed to improve traffic flow and safety while reducing long-term maintenance needs. Scheduled for completion by June 2028, the new bridge will better serve the 18,000 vehicles that rely on it daily during peak travel seasons.
