In recognition of the work on the State Route 530 Slide reconstruction, the national American Public Works Association (APWA) awarded a newly created President’s Special Recognition Award to Snohomish County Public Works and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The two agencies also received the 2015 Project of the Year Award from the Washington State Chapter of the APWA for the Disaster/Emergency Construction Repair category.
This is the first time in the history of the Washington chapter that a national APWA special recognition honor has been awarded.
