Dewberry Receives Two ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards
David Hill and H. Ali Vaezi accepted the award at the ACEC New Jersey chapter's awards banquet.
Route 206 Bypass Bridge over CSX Railroad
HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, announces that its Route 206 Bypass Contract B project in Hillsborough, New Jersey, has earned the Honor Award for the large project category from the American Council of Engineering Companies' New Jersey (ACEC NJ) chapter, and the ACEC National Recognition Award.
Dewberry was the engineer of record for the entire three-mile limited access bypass. As part of the Contract B project, the firm designed a new 176-foot single-span bypass bridge over the CSX railroad; replaced an existing Route 206 bridge over Royce Brook, Tributary B; designed a new Hamilton Road Bridge over the Route 206 Bypass; and relocated utilities, including a communication provider's underground fiber-optic trunk line and a 30-inch water main. The bypass alignment was designed to minimize impacts to environmentally sensitive areas, including wetlands, floodplains, and riparian zones.
“With the completion of Contract B, the entire Route 206 Bypass has been opened to traffic, which is expected to reduce congestion,” said Dewberry Project Manager David Hill, PE.
The bypass will provide access to a planned future rail station, making the town more attractive for transit commuters. With the project complete, traffic can now use the three-mile bypass, which is expected to decrease congestion on the bypassed portion of existing Route 206 and divert regional traffic from the center of town, allowing the township of Hillsborough to pursue its vision of developing a pedestrian-friendly town center.
Dewberry has a history of providing professional services to a wide variety of public- and private-sector clients. Established in 1956, Dewberry is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, with more than 50 locations and 2,000-plus professionals nationwide.
