Photo of the crossing into the new refuge visitor center for the Parker River National Wildlife RefugeThe Federal Lands Highway Program in Massachusetts.The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is located on the Atlantic coast in northeastern Massachusetts, near the border of New Hampshire. Established in 1942, the 4,662-acre refuge is a diverse upland and wetland environment, with sandy beaches and dunes, thickets of shrubs and bogs, and freshwater and saltwater marshes.

Eastern Federal Lands constructed a crossing over degraded wetlands into the new refuge visitor center.The crossing serves as the main route into and out of the visitor center.The project was funded by the Innovative Bridge Research and Construction Program, which is intended to demonstrate the application of innovative materials technology in the construction of bridges and other highway structures.The crossing used High Performance Concrete for the deck, as well as prefabricated bridge elements. The primary benefits of the prefabricated elements are superior quality, improved constructability, and reduced environmental impact to the surrounding wetlands.
