The recently opened Broadway Bridge (U.S. Highway 70) spanning the Arkansas River between Little Rock and North Little Rock is among twelve finalists announced in the 2017 America’s Transportation Awards competition sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), AAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“We’re excited about the high level of participation in this year’s competition,” said AASHTO Executive Director Bud Wright. “Transportation departments in the District of Columbia and 38 states submitted a record 92 project nominations. Not every nominee takes home a prize but the programs and projects being implemented and constructed across the country such as roads, bridges, bike and pedestrian trails are making communities safer, healthier and more prosperous, so the big winners are the American people.”
