2001 Awards

January 17, 2002

National Silver Award: US-93, Montana

Engineer: Skillings-Connolly
Architects: Jones & Jones
Owner: Montana Department of Transportation
Description: Skillings-Connolly facilitated a complex partnering process that laid the foundations for all future agreement discussions between state and federal agencies. The process enabled three government agencies to work together to address ideas and concerns to reach a consensus on US-93.
 
The MOA lays out concepts for how the highway alignment will be developed, how traffic will be managed and how people, wildlife and visual aesthetics will be protected. The MOA enables project participants to finish the environmental process as required by the National Environmental Policy Act. Once the environmental process is completed, design of the actual project can begin.
 
Skillings-Connolly applied the partnering process in a nontraditional way. In applying traffic-modeling technology as a tool for decision making at the concept level, this demonstrates how these techniques can be applied in new ways in the real world.
