2026 transportation AWARDSThe 2026 ACEC/Iowa Engineering Excellence Awards winning projects in the Transportation Category: Firm: Snyder & Associates, Inc.
The 8th Avenue Reconstruction & Mount Vernon Road Rehabilitation project represents a significant investment in one of Cedar Rapids' most heavily traveled urban corridors, enhancing safety, mobility, and corridor identity for those using the area, which includes more than 20,000 vehicles daily. Extending from 8th Street SE to 20th Street SE, the project was delivered through two coordinated construction zones — a full reconstruction and roundabout improvement between 8th and 14th Streets, and a pavement rehabilitation and modernization effort between 14th and 20th Streets. Together, these improvements advance the goals of the Mount Vernon Road Corridor Action Plan to create a safer, more walkable, and visually attractive and cohesive gateway into the city. |
