National Geospatial Agency Breaks Ground on $1.7B St. Louis Campus
ENR Midwest held its annual awards breakfast on Dec. 3 at the Renaissance Chicago downtown to honor the winners of its Best Projects competition. Thirty-five project teams received awards and the 41st Street Pedestrian Arch Bridge over Lake Shore Drive won the coveted Project of the Year award. The project was recognized for the challenges of having to cross rail lines and Lake Shore Drive to connect a park in Chicago’s South Side to the lakefront and for the beautiful, arched structure with serpentine approaches that made it possible. Design Firm of the Year HNTB, Owner of the Year MidAmerican Energy, Special Contractor of the Year Gaylor Electric and Contractor of the Year Pepper Construction also received their awards at the breakfast. Best Projects judges Steve Zimmerman, associate principal at WJE, and Laura Young, principal of Griskelis Young Harrell, also attended.
