During the American Council of Engineering Companies’ (ACEC) Engineering Excellence Awards in Washington D.C., TransCore’s work for the Delaware Department of Transportation (DELDOT) to convert the I-95 Newark Toll Plaza to open road tolling earned a National Recognition Award for demonstrating exceptional achievement in engineering.
TransCore served as the lead integrator on DELDOT’s conversion of the Newark Toll Plaza on I-95, adding two new electronic highway speed lanes on both the north and south bound plazas, which successfully reduced congestion in a busy corridor for motorists and commercial freight carriers. Plaza throughput jumped from an estimated 250-300 transactions per lane per hour to an estimated 2,000. The $32 million project was fully funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Working around the clock, A-Del Construction, the prime contractor on the project, TransCore, and the I-95 toll plaza team beat the projected 479 calendar day delivery schedule by more than a month.
