The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) recently won 17 Maryland Quality Initiative (MdQI) Consortium Awards of Excellence for “planning studies, programs and construction projects” for 2016.

The MdQI is made up of private sector industry associations and public sector transportation agencies. It was founded in 1993 by MDOT’s State Highway Administration (SHA) and private sector representatives. Its mission and activities include other MDOT transportation business units, the Federal Highway Administration, local government transportation agencies and industry associations.

MDOT was recognized with multiple awards for two projects completed last year. These included the Dual Steel Bridges on U.S. 13 over the Pocomoke River by the State Highway Administration and the deck rehabilitation and joint modifications of bridges on Interstate 95 south of the Fort McHenry Tunnel by the Maryland Transportation Authority.

“I am very proud of the MDOT professionals who develop, operate and maintain one of the best transportation networks in the world,” says Maryland Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn.
