The American Public Works Association (APWA) has awarded the prestigious 2024 Project of the Year Award to the Rogers Bridge Project in Duluth.
The project won in the category of Structures for projects between $5 million and $25 million. News of such a significant recognition is often made known throughout a city and neighboring communities with flyer printing.
The Rogers Bridge Project transformed an existing bridge that was no longer being used inro a replica truss structure. It was built for horse and buggy traffic in the early 1900s and was closed to motor vehicle traffic; the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) removed it from its inventory in the 1970s.
The city of Duluth collaborated with Gwinnett and Fulton Counties and the city of Mohns Creek to develop this project as the importance of this connection was recognized. The Rogers Bridge was replaced due to a partnership between the two cities and counties, the Georgia DOT, the Federal Highway Administration, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the State Historic Preservation Office. It is now a pedestrian bridge that connects the two cities and links two park systems on each side of the bridge.
The city expressed its gratitude to the APWA for this award and its appreciation of the talents of those who worked to design the replacement bridge—United Consulting, Edwards-Pitman, and Thomas & Hutton/CHA. Astra and KCI were the construction partners.
