Operating out of Boston, they specialized in the drafting, design and implementation of both road and railway truss bridges, a popular bridge style of that period. Boston Bridge Works was established in 1876 by David H. Andrews, building notable bridges, such as the 1892 Harvard Bridge between Cambridge and Boston. The company also built bridges for many New England railroads including the Boston and Maine Railroad and Boston and Providence Railroad. Employees of the company were engineers and contractors for steel bridges, buildings, roofs, and railway turntables.
