ENR New York’s 2017 Best Projects range from the tallest of towers and deepest tunnels in Manhattan to smaller projects in the two states that are critical to communities for boosting local economies and expanding services for taxpayers. Along the way, design and construction team participants set new standards in the use of technology, sustainability and safety practices.
Judges selected 31 projects for awards, with 18 cited as Best Projects and 13 earning awards of merit. The Second Avenue Subway, Phase 1, New York City’s first new subway line in more than 50 years, was chosen by the judges this year as the region’s top project for meeting key challenges and setting new standards in innovation and design (see story, p. 15).
