Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021 -- 9:02 AM

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced six Excellence in Construction Awards for 2020 during the annual Contractor-Engineer Conference.

Top winners include an asphalt paving project in Lincoln County, a concrete paving project in Outagamie County, a grading project in Kenosha County, a small bridge project in Jackson County, a large bridge project in Adams and Juneau counties and a large contract project in Dane County.

“Wisconsin is fortunate to have so many top-notch private contractors who help us complete vitally important transportation improvements across the state,” said Beth Cannestra, director of WisDOT’s Bureau of Project Development. “As valued private sector partners, they deserve praise for the quality of their work, and for embracing innovations that help us save time and money.”

The Excellence in Small Structures Award went to Lunda Construction, of Black River Falls, for construction of the US 12 bridge over Allen Creek in Jackson County.

The project involved replacing an 8-foot by 17-foot stone arch culvert, built in 1884, with a new 110-foot single span structure, which greatly improved the creek’s ability to flow under US 12.

The new bridge had technical challenges and details which Lunda worked through to deliver an exceptional finished product on time and on budget.
