Six Wisconsin construction companies received DTSD Excellence in Construction Awards at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s annual Contractor-Engineer Conference.

Top winners include an asphalt paving project in Winnebago County, a concrete paving project in Rock County, a grading project in Dane County, a small bridge project in Pierce County, a large bridge project in Clark County and a large contract project in Milwaukee County.

“The Excellence in Construction Awards highlight the dedication and expertise behind projects that strengthen Wisconsin’s transportation system,” WisDOT Secretary Kristina Boardman said. “For the past seven years in the Evers Administration, we’ve been empowered to make strategic investments in transportation in every county in Wisconsin. With more than 450 projects last year, we’re proudly improving our roads and bridges to help people travel safely, stay connected and enjoy a better quality of life statewide.”

• Excellence in Asphalt Paving – Northeast Asphalt, located in Greenville, received the award for work on WIS 91, between Berlin and Oshkosh, in Winnebago County. This project resurfaced 14.5 miles, including 21 side road intersections and 165 driveways. The efficiency of the paving crews helped the project finish ahead of schedule and under budget.
• Excellence in Concrete Paving – Trierweiler Construction, based in Marshfield, received the award for work on US 51 (Center Avenue), from Nicolet Street to Court Street in Janesville, in Rock County. 
• Excellence in Grading – Mashuda Contractors, Inc., located in Princeton, received the award for work on County M, between County Q and WIS 113, in Dane County. This 2.5-mile project reconstructed and widened County M from two to four lanes. Grading operations were particularly demanding, involving excavations up to 20 feet deep. The contractor’s scheduling, strong partnership with WisDOT and traffic staging plans helped keep high volumes of commuter traffic moving while improving a vital route for Dane County residents.
• Excellence in Small Structures – Zenith Tech, located in Waukesha, received the award for the WIS 35 retaining wall between Pepin and Hager City in Pierce County. 
• Excellence in Large Structures – Lunda Construction, based in Black River Falls, received the award for the County M bridge over the South Fork of the Eau Claire River in Clark County. 
• Large Contract – Hoffman Construction, located in Black River Falls, received the award for work on the I-43 North-South project, from Bender Drive to Brown Deer Road, in Milwaukee County.
