G&G Steel Wins $14M Corps Bridge Contract
The firm-fixed-price award will see steel connector bridge work performed in Memphis, Tennessee, through February 2028.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Manufacturing
G&G Steel Inc. has been awarded a $14,016,810 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contract to fabricate and deliver a steel connector bridge. The Corps' Memphis District is the contracting agency, and the full amount is obligated from fiscal 2027 civil construction funds.
Why it matters
The award adds to a growing run of federal infrastructure work for the Russellville-based manufacturer, which follows a separate $11.5 million Corps contract for culvert valve assemblies at Cannelton Locks and Dam. For Memphis, the project brings federally funded steel fabrication and construction activity to the region.
The $14,016,810 firm-fixed-price contract is one of two recent Corps awards to G&G Steel, the other valued at $11.5 million for Cannelton Locks and Dam culvert valves. The Corps received only one offer after soliciting bids online, and the scope of the bridge work beyond fabrication and delivery has not been detailed.
The players
G&G Steel Inc.
A family-owned steel fabricator founded in 1975 and headquartered on a 27-acre campus in Russellville, operating across three locations with roughly 918,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The federal engineering agency that builds and maintains navigation, flood control and water infrastructure, and whose Memphis District is the contracting agency for this award.
The details
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Memphis District solicited bids online for the steel connector bridge and received one offer from G&G Steel Inc. The work is to be performed in Memphis, Tennessee, with an estimated completion date of February 15, 2028.
Timeline
Estimated completion of the Memphis steel connector bridge contract: February 15, 2028
Expected completion of Cannelton Locks culvert valve work: November 8, 2030
Market Landscape
The award extends a pattern of Army Corps contracting with G&G Steel, following its earlier $11.5 million Cannelton Locks and Dam culvert valve work. Federal infrastructure contracts of this size are typically competitive, and the single offer received on this solicitation suggests limited competition for this specific bridge scope.
For Memphis residents, the bridge project means construction activity and steel fabrication work tied to a federal contract through February 2028. Because the award is federally funded and firm-fixed-price, its effects on local traffic, jobs, and costs are not described in the source extraction.
The takeaway
Federal infrastructure work is increasingly flowing to established regional fabricators, and this award shows how a single prior contract can lead to follow-on work. Readers tracking Memphis construction should watch for project updates ahead of the February 2028 completion estimate.
