I-86 and STATE ROUTE 15 RECONSTRUCTION (STEUBEN COUNTY),
NAMED 2009 NATIONAL TOP 10 TRANSPORATION PROJECT
Shumaker Consulting Engineering & Land Surveying, P.C. (SCE) is proud to announce that the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the American Automobile Association, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has selected for the America's Transportation Awards competition, the reconstruction of the interchange of Interstate 86 and State Route 15 project in the Town of Erwin, Steuben County. This project has been named one of the 10 best transportation projects in the nation for 2009. On this project, SCE was a member of the Stantec Consulting Group, Inc. team based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The reconstruction of the interchange of Interstate 86 and State Route 15 addressed the design development for new, fully directional and semi-direct interchanges that will be constructed to current standards for interstate highway systems. The scope of this project included rehabilitation of the Cohocton River Bridge and operational improvements that employ an existing portion of US Route 15 as a local road and thereby segregate traffic to and from NYS Route 17. As a subconsultant to Stantec Consulting Group, Inc., SCE was responsible for survey/mapping, environmental engineering, and highway design tasks.
Stanley Gee, Acting Commissioner of the New York State Department of Transportation, comments, “On behalf of Governor Paterson, I offer congratulations to Region 6 staff and everyone who worked on the I-86/Route 15 project. We're proud of your effort and glad to share in the recognition of it.”
This $141 million road reconstruction project, which was completed in 2008, has been recognized for a total of seven (7) awards. This project was also recognized on the national level by The Roads and Bridges Magazine as the #8 top road project in the county.
