UBP develops, builds, owns and operates private toll bridges across the U.S. Capital to build and operate the Company’s projects is provided by an exclusive partnership with the New American Bridges Fund, a $1 billion infrastructure investment fund.

UBP made its first investment in the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge. The old Jordan Bridge was originally opened in 1928 and operated continuously until it was closed to traffic in 2008 due to severe structural deficiencies. The old Jordan Bridge was demolished in late 2010 and ground was broken on the new bridge in early November 2010. Construction of the new bridge was completed in October 2012, and the facility was immediately opened to traffic.

UBP has broken ground on its second project, the Cline Avenue Bridge (“CAB”), which crosses the Indiana Harbor Canal in East Chicago, Indiana. The original Cline Avenue Bridge was built in 1982 and operated until it was closed by the Indiana Department of Transportation in 2009. The old bridge was demolished by INDOT in 2012. In 2013, INDOT agreed with UBP to replace the old bridge with a new Cline Avenue Bridge that would be designed, financed, owned and operated by UBP.
