State Transportation Projects Honored by Chamber, AAA, ASHTO

The U.S. Chamber and two transportation groups joined together this week to honor outstanding transportation projects across the United States.

The Chamber, AAA and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (ASHTO) awarded their “America’s Transportation Award” this week to transportation departments in five states in the Northeast region. Projects were judged according to their size in three categories, “Innovative Management,” “On Time,” and “On Budget.”

The winners included the Rhode Island Department of Transportation in the large project “Innovative Management” category for their $610 million Iway Bridge Float Project, which was featured on the History Channel’s “Mega Movers.”

Three additional regional contests will be held in the Midwest, West, and South in July and August 2008. The top regional winners will compete for the National "America's Transportation Award."
