An immigrant to the United States in 1842 at the age of 3, Amos D. Bridge founded Bridgecorp in Connecticut in 1875. The company treated employees fairly in the Merit (open) Shop way – with pay rate based upon what they produced. The company first came to Maine in 1914, with the headquarters finally migrating to Maine during World War II.
Bridgecorp was a leader in Maine road construction for 90 years, until sold to Pike Industries in 2004. The people and the equipment continue as part of the Pike Heavy and Highway Construction Division today after merging into the parent company. Pike continues the tradition of ABC membership and involvement. Both Mr. Bridge and Mr. Pike started their companies in the 1870s, and the two remarkable histories are now combined.
The Amos D. Bridge Scholarship founder, Amos' great-grandson John Bridge, is a graduate of the University of Maine and was a national officer of Associated Builders and Contractors in the 1980s, when this scholarship was established. John offers the following advice to scholarship applicants: “Remember that entrepreneurship in construction is just as possible today as it was for Amos in 1875.”
The Amos Bridge Scholarship Fund was established to support students enrolled in University of Maine’s Construction Engineering Technology program or USM's Certificate in Construction Management, or similar programs relating to management within the construction industry.
