The new Tacoma Narrows Bridge is one of 10 projects in the
running for the People’s Choice Award, a nationwide competition
sponsored by the American Association of State Highway
Transportation Officials, the American Automobile Association and
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The winner is decided upon by people
across the nation via an online voting process.
Last month, The Western Association of State Highway Transportation
Officials awarded the bridge one of its highest honors, the
America’s Transportation Award, making it a finalist for the Grand
National Prize and the People’s Choice Award.
“Now is the chance for the entire region to show the rest of the
country that our project — on time and on budget — was the best of
the best transportation projects in 2007,” said state
Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond. “
The winner of the People’s Choice Award receives a substantial cash
award to donate to a local or regional community service project of
its choice. The Grand National Prize and the People’s Choice Award
will be announced on Oct. 16 in Hartford, CT.
