Dewberry has announced that its Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension deck reconstruction project in Essex and Hudson counties was recently awarded a Leading Infrastructure Award by the New Jersey Alliance for Action.
The award recognizes innovative, pioneering, and landmark construction initiatives that greatly impact New Jersey’s economy. Award recipients were announced during a virtual ceremony on February 17, 2021.
“We are honored to receive this award,” says Dewberry Vice President and Senior Project Manager S. Andrew Kamilaris, PE. “The success of this project allowed for enhanced safety and the prolonged life of the structures within this critical corridor,” adds Dewberry Project Engineer Edward Bier, PE.
The New Jersey Turnpike Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension roadway serves as a critical connection between the Holland Tunnel, Interstate 78, Routes 1 and 9, and the Newark Liberty International Airport and Port Newark facilities. Dewberry provided engineering services for the preliminary and final design of the deck reconstruction and structural steel rehabilitation of the westerly approach structures, including one of the curved Interchange 14 ramps and the structural rehabilitation of the iconic Newark Bay Bridge.
