Transportation infrastructure projects in Georgia are receiving industry recognition for improvements to pedestrian connectivity and intersection safety. Two projects supported by STV have received 2026 Engineering Project Awards from the Georgia Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The Global Gateway Connector Bridge in College Park provides a pedestrian and bicycle connection between the city's historic downtown, the Georgia International Convention Center and nearby destinations.
The bridge opened in 2025 near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Its suspension-arch design forms part of College Park's broader multimodal transportation network while providing a dedicated connection for pedestrians and cyclists.
STV's project team received ASCE Georgia recognition for the infrastructure improvements associated with the bridge. The project had also received recognition from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Georgia in 2025.
A separate project at Union Road and Butner Road in South Fulton focused on improving operations at an existing skewed two-way stop intersection.
The project converted the intersection to a modern single-lane roundabout and added storm drainage improvements, pedestrian accommodations and upgraded lighting. Landscaping within the central island includes native plantings.
Construction activities incorporated traffic simulation, GPS machine control and drone monitoring technologies. The improvements were designed to address existing intersection conditions while supporting pedestrian access and traffic operations.
In addition to the two project awards, ASCE Georgia recognized Sam Dennard, a roadway engineer in STV's Duluth office, for his service to the organization. Dennard serves as treasurer and is a member of the section's board of directors.
The combination of project-level and professional recognition highlights the range of transportation engineering work being carried out across Georgia, from multimodal connections to roadway safety improvements.
The two awarded projects address different transportation needs within Georgia. The College Park bridge adds a dedicated pedestrian and bicycle connection, while the South Fulton roundabout replaces an existing intersection configuration with infrastructure designed for improved safety and traffic operations.
For transportation owners and project teams, the projects demonstrate how roadway and multimodal investments can combine structural, drainage, pedestrian, lighting and technology components within community infrastructure programs.
