HVEA was selected by the Town of Red Hook for the Replacement of the Aspinwall Road Bridge over the Saw Kill. This Bridge NY project includes the removal of the existing superstructure and substructure and the installation of a longer single span superstructure plus improvements to bridge hydraulics, erosion, scour, bridge width and railing.
The American Council of Engineering Companies of New York has selected the CR 18 over Shawangunk Kill Bridge Rehabilitation in Shawangunk, NY for the 2023 Silver Award in Category H: Transportation Systems and the Heritage Trail – Segment 2 in Goshen & Middletown, NY for the 2023 Gold Award in Category H; Transportation Systems.
The Engineering Excellence Awards are presented to projects that encompass both the public and private sector in the following categories: studies, research and consulting services; building/technology systems; structural systems; surveying and mapping technology; environmental; waste and storm water; water resources; transportation; energy; industrial and manufacturing processes and facilities; and special projects.
Winners will be honored at the Annual Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) Gala, which will take place at the Midtown Hilton in New York City on Friday, March 24, 2023. In addition to celebrating among peers, the Engineering Excellence Awards program helps to publicize the many significant contributions consulting engineers make to the built environment throughout the world. A full list of winning projects is available on the ACEC New York website, as well as information on purchasing tickets and sponsorships for the March 24th Engineering Excellence Gala.
Dutchess County DPW selected HVEA for this transformative project to design a new intersection at Main Street (CR 114) with North and South Grand Avenue in the Town and City of Poughkeepsie. This intersection was identified as an area of high crashes and poor pedestrian accommodation and is the 6th busiest County highway by volume. HVEA will provide three design alternatives including a roundabout.
The Westchester County Department of Public Works & Transportation has selected HVEA for the Reconstruction of the Boston Post Road Bridge over Playland Parkway in Rye, NY. This 60′ long structure is a single span, stone faced concrete arch constructed in 1941. Improvements will include bridge rehabilitation/replacement, geotechnical, drainage and vertical clearance upgrades. With an ADT of 10,300 and with the Playland Amusement Park located along the Playland Parkway, work zone traffic control will be a key consideration.
HVEA is excited to have been selected by the Dutchess County DPW for the Replacement of Bridge W-21 Stanford Road over the East Branch of Wappinger Creek in the Town of Stanford. This bridge location is unique in that the Millbrook Dam is located immediately upstream of the bridge. In fact, the northern wingwalls of the bridge form part of the training wall along the dam’s spillway channel. Primary design services will include structural, geotechnical, environmental and hydraulic analysis for this challenging bridge replacement project.
HVEA prepared a virtual public information presentation for the County of Westchester. We are the engineering consultant for the Main Street Bridge Rehabilitation over the Bronx River Parkway and Bronx River, PIN 8762.18. This project is a Bridge NY funded project proposing the rehabilitation of the bridge, raising the stone parapet walls to comply with ADA standards, addition/replacement of guide rail and preserving the historic integrity of the bridge.
For any questions or comments, please contact Jared Anderson, P.E., Project Manager at janderson@hveapc.com by April 30, 2021.

The American Council of Engineering Companies of New York has selected the Ashokan Station Trailhead project for the 2021 Platinum Award in Category F: Waste and Storm Water. HVEA provided design services for a 52 space parking lot located adjacent to the Ashokan Reservoir. Due to the proximity to the reservoir and the size of the lot, HVEA designed an innovative stormwater system that utilized multiple standard practices in series to maximize stormwater quality and quantity controls, while still meeting the regulatory conditions of all involved agencies. Environmental permitting was also a challenge as there were multiple agency requirements and procedures.
The Engineering Excellence Awards are presented to projects that encompass both the public and private sector in the following categories: studies, research and consulting services; building/technology systems; structural systems; surveying and mapping technology; environmental; waste and storm water; water resources; transportation; energy; industrial and manufacturing processes and facilities; and special projects.
Winners will be honored at the Annual Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) Gala, which will take place at the Hilton Midtown in New York City on June 5, 2021. This event is co-sponsored by the ACEC New York Scholarship Fund, and in conjunction with the Gala, the scholarship program will award more than $50,000 to NYS engineering students. This event will also recognize the 100th anniversary of ACEC New York.
