The Cumberland Avenue Corridor Project and the Old City Streetscapes Project along Jackson Avenue were selected as statewide winners at American Council of Engineering Companies’ (ACEC) Engineering Excellence Awards and 50th Anniversary Gala in Nashville on Friday, Oct. 26. 

The Tennessee Chapter of ACEC received 32 applications for awards in a variety of categories, and those applications were judged by a panel of 19 council members. 

The Cumberland Avenue project and consulting team Vaughn & Melton Consulting Engineers Inc. received the “Grand Award” for Special Projects; Large Jurisdiction. And the Old City Streetscapes project and CDM Smith received the “Grand Award” for Surveying and Mapping Technology. 

“These projects represent fantastic teamwork across multiple City departments, consultants, contractors and the community,” said Mayor Madeline Rogero. “The collaborations and resulting improvements are something we can all celebrate.”
