In December 2014, Posillico was awarded the $7 million contract for Design-Build Services for the Ellison Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. The Posillico Design-Build Team included Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (design/engineering).
The former Ellison Avenue Bridge over the LIRR was 115 years old and in extremely poor condition with a reduced weight restriction of three tons. As one of only three crossings connecting the Village of Westbury across the tracks, its prompt replacement was and is vital to the safety of the surrounding community and village. On Friday, April 15, 2016 the new bridge was opened to traffic in a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Also, the Posillico D-B Team for Ellison has partnered with Skanska and Kiewit for the MTA LIRR 3rd Rail Pursuit. MTA LIRR and NYSDOT have said that design-build has been used successfully in construction of the LIRR’s Ellison Avenue Bridge replacement project.
