City of Bloomfield Hills Preserving Culturally Significant Bridges Project
Earns the American Public Works Association/Michigan 2010 Project of the Year Award
in the Structural Less Than $5 Million Category
Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) recently earned the American Public Works Association/Michigan (APWA/M) 2010 Project of the Year Award in the Structural Less Than $5 Million category for the City of Bloomfield Hills Preserving Culturally Significant Bridges Project. Located in the picturesque and prestigious Cranbrook Educational Community (Cranbrook), the Lone Pine Road and Cranbrook Road Bridges were painstakingly rehabilitated to remedy structural deficiencies and to bring the bridges into compliance with current traffic, bridge and pedestrian safety guidelines while maintaining their historical and aesthetic significance. The original fieldstones were salvaged and reused for the wing walls on the Lone Pine Road Bridge, and the original iron decorative railing on the Cranbrook Road Bridge was kept in place, which is now protected by an FHWA compliant barrier. The project carefully balanced financial resources in achieving structural integrity and preserving the cultural significance of the bridges at Cranbrook.
 
City of Ann Arbor West Stadium Boulevard Complete Streets Project
Earns the American Public Works Association/Michigan 2010 Project of the Year Award

Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) recently earned the American Public Works Association/Michigan (APWA/M) 2010 Project of the Year Award in the Transportation $5- 10 Million category for the City of Ann Arbor West Stadium Boulevard Complete Streets Project. At an average daily two-way traffic volume of over 15,000 per day, West Stadium Boulevard is one of most heavily traveled corridors in the City. Design for reconstruction of approximately 1 mile of an existing 4 lane road included utilities, an in-line detention and stormwater treatment system, nearly 80 decorative LED streetlights, and bicycle lanes for non-motorized travel in both directions. The project was partially funded through a low interest State Revolving Fund Loan for its Best Management Practices associated with its watershed management plan, and through American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding.
