CHA Consulting, Inc. (CHA) is pleased to announce the Ohio River Bridges - Downtown Crossing project is the recipient of an ACEC Indiana 2018 Engineering Excellence Honor Award. This project is now eligible for the Grand Project Award, one of the state’s most prestigious engineering distinctions to be announced in March 2018.
This roughly $1.319 billion project, which is anticipated to generate more than $87 billion in economic growth, included in excess of 50 miles of new roadway and more than 60 overpasses and bridges to dramatically improve safety and cross-river mobility between Louisville, Kentucky, and Southern Indiana. As a partner of Walsh/Jacobs Engineering, CHA designed the approach roadways on the Indiana side of the bridge, a $175 million design-build project widening I-65 from 11 to 14 lanes.
This project was also recognized by the Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials (MAASTO) and named a finalist for American’s Transportation Awards earlier this year.
