WHO WE ARE
United Bridge Partners funds, designs, builds, owns, and operates private toll bridges across the United States. Our Mission is to creatively deliver and operate transportation infrastructure for America’s communities.
We offer a turnkey solution to state and local governments to replace and repair bridges in need, delivering new, modern, and durable structures that provide an enhanced transportation experience. As private owners, we are responsible for all long-term operations and maintenance, customer service, and tolling back office activities. Our structures employ open-road, all-electronic tolling technology to make travel safer and more efficient, and we have become the foremost experts in tolling back office billings and collections in the US.
Because we are committed to improving quality of life of the communities in which we reside, we integrate into the community on every project, creating economic opportunities, opening a permanent local office, and actively participating in local events.
UBP is backed by the New American Bridges Fund, a $1 billion equity fund managed by American Infrastructure Funds LLC. We deliver our projects using zero state, federal, or local funds.
