This Hispanic Heritage Month, the ALRA family came together for a day filled with culture, community, and celebration! We kicked off the day with a scenic ride, enjoying the beautiful route along the way, before gathering for great food, good music, and even better company.

This year, Hispanic Heritage Month overlaps with the upcoming Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we took the opportunity to honor this during our HHM celebration. As part of the event, we were proud to give back to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with each participant making a donation in support of cancer care and ALRA matching the donation dollar for dollar. 💛

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special.

ALRA Engineers, P.C. is thrilled to announce that the brand-new Meadow Hill Road Bridge over I-87 is officially OPEN as of this past Friday, June 12, 2026 — just one year after its closure for full replacement on June 13, 2025.

As the prime consultant to the New York State Thruway Authority, our team played a key role in bringing this major infrastructure upgrade to life. The project delivered a completely reimagined bridge: wider, safer, higher, and built for the future, complete with expanded shoulders, a dedicated pedestrian sidewalk, protective fencing, and improved roadway approaches.

From overseeing pile installation and utility relocations to managing paving, staging, ACM abatement, and Work Zone Traffic Control, ALRA ensured every detail met the highest standards. We’re excited to see this vital community link reopened — stronger, safer, and ready to serve Orange County for decades ahead.
