ACEC/MA Announces VHB as a Finalist for 2021 Engineering Excellence Award

WORCESTER, Mass. - Feb. 17, 2022 - PRLog -- The American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts (ACEC/MA) has named VHB as a Finalist for the 2021 Engineering Excellence Award for their work on the Kelley Square Roundabout in Worcester, MA.

Kelley Square consistently ranked as one of the highest crash locations in Massachusetts, providing little to no traffic control, delineation, or meaningful bike or pedestrian accommodation. VHB delivered a Hybrid Roundabout, a first of its kind in Massachusetts, joining 7 intersecting roadways into a cohesive whole, better defining traffic patterns and establishing traffic calming measures for 40,000 motorists a day, while creating an enhanced bicycle and pedestrian environment to improve non-motorized mobility and safety and enhance local business accessibility.

The 2021 Engineering Excellence Awards were recently announced and will be celebrated at the virtual ACEC/MA Engineering Excellence and Awards Gala. The awards celebrate innovation, ingenuity, and excellence in engineering achievement.

"The ACEC/MA Engineering Excellence Awards Competition recognizes engineering achievements that demonstrate the highest degree of merit and ingenuity," said Scott A. Miller PE, President of ACEC/MA and Vice President and Regional Vice President for Haley Ward. "We celebrate this year's outstanding engineering achievements, congratulate our winners and thank them for their contributions to improving the quality of our everyday lives."
