Representatives from Tighe & Bond and the CTDOT with the award.
Trumbull, CT – The Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers (CSCE) presented Tighe & Bond with a 2014 Transportation Achievement in Civil Engineering (ACE) Award for roadway improvements associated with the development of Bridgeport Hospital’s Park Avenue Campus in Trumbull. Presentation of the award took place at the annual ACE Awards Program at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville.
The Bridgeport Hospital Park Avenue campus, which is under construction and part of the Yale-New Haven Health System, is a 100,000sf state of the art treatment facility that will provide regional care for patients. The roadway improvements – including the addition of a modern roundabout – will support the traffic generated by the Park Avenue Campus, and address existing operational deficiencies along the Park Avenue intersections with the Merritt Parkway ramps (Exit 47) in Trumbull/Fairfield, Connecticut.
Tighe & Bond’s traffic and parking group conducted extensive traffic studies and developed concepts for review and approval by the three municipalities involved: Trumbull, Fairfield and Bridgeport. The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), and the Office of State Traffic Administration (OSTA), also provided approvals. The ensuing design process involved a partnership with these municipalities and agencies to finalize a design that includes a modern roundabout at an expressway ramp terminus, only the second one in the State of Connecticut.
