Smith-Midland Corporation (NASDAQ:SMID) - was awarded a $4.15M contract expansion to provide rental barriers for the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) expansion project with Hampton Roads Connector Partners (HRCP). The original contract, announced in March 2021, written for $2.25M, has grown by $4.15M to a total of $6.4M, due to the scope of the project. This is the largest contract in the Company's safety barrier and rental division history.
