Harrisburg Region Project of the Year Award for the North Second
Street Two-Way Conversion Project.
HARRISBURG, Pa., May 24, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- North Second Street's two-way conversion
and multimodal enhancement won the American Society of Highway
Engineer's (ASHE) Harrisburg Region 2024 Project of the Year Award
in the under $20 million category.
Dawood, an international engineering and technology firm, supported
the City of Harrisburg and
Wallace Montgomery with project
field surveying, pavement design, and American with Disabilities
Act (ADA) ramp design.
"We're focused on helping local and state
governments improve multimodal transportation safety. Our projects
throughout Pennsylvania represent
how our multidiscipline teams design complete street solutions."
—Dawood Executive Vice President Nicholas
Brien, PE
The overall two-mile initiative converted a three-lane, one-way
traffic pattern into a two-lane, two-way street with a center
turning lane in select areas. Dawood conducted ADA ramp design at
140 locations to improve accessibility.
Project infrastructure improvements feature raised crosswalks, a
shared bike lane, and three roundabouts at the intersections of
Verbeke, Reily, and Kelker Streets—focused on calming traffic and
lowering vehicle speeds. North Second Street's reconfigured two-way
operation supports Harrisburg's
Vision Zero focus to eliminate traffic-related fatalities in the
next 10 years.
ASHE Harrisburg Project of the Year honors were delivered during
the organization's Annual Past Presidents Banquet, where Dawood
transportation intern and Shippensburg
University undergraduate Emily
Calamia also won an ASHE engineering scholarship.
