Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine, May 14, 2025: A ribbon-cutting ceremony marks the official opening of the newly upgraded Gate 2 Bridge. The bridge upgrade involved replacing the failed coating system, repairing structural steel, and installing a new vehicle guardrail system. These enhancements improve regional infrastructure, ensuring smoother and safer transportation while supporting the shipyard's growing workforce. The project also includes a designated bike path and pedestrian walkway. The investment in the bridge will improve traffic flow, material delivery, and installation resiliency for the shipyard. The Shipyard infrastructure Optimization Program is a comprehensive, long-term recapitalization effort that delivers integrated investments in infrastructure and industrial plant equipment at the Navy's four public shipyards, expanding shipyard capacity and optimizing shipyard configuration to meet the Navy's fleet maintenance requirements.
