The SR 28 Highland Park Interchange Improvement Project was recently awarded the 2024 March of Dimes Transportation, Building and Construction Transportation Project of the Year. SR 28 is a vital thoroughfare that connects downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to its northeastern suburbs and beyond. The SR 28 Highland Park Interchange Improvement Project, led by PennDOT and involving multiple partners, addressed bottlenecks and frequent accidents caused by a two-lane section near the Highland Park Bridge. Key improvements included adding travel lanes, ramps, and pedestrian safety features. Despite challenges like narrow corridors, geotechnical issues, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was completed successfully in December 2023, enhancing traffic flow, safety and accessibility. #ProjectAwards #EngineeringExcellence
