The Grand Project Award has been described as one of Indiana’s most prestigious engineering honors, handed out each year by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Indiana.  American Structurepoint, with headquarters located on the north side of Indianapolis, has won the Grand Project Award for its engineering work on the intersection of 126th Street and State Road 37.

According to an American Structurepoint news release, the award also recognizes  the City of Fishers, Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), Hamilton County, and the City of Noblesville for collaborating to address traffic congestion and safety challenges along the SR 37 corridor in Hamilton County, Indiana.

“We are honored to share this recognition with the City of Fishers, INDOT, Hamilton County, and the City of Noblesville to improve traffic flow and solve complex congestion issues along the SR 37 corridor,” said Rick Conner, president of American Structurepoint, in the company news release. “At American Structurepoint, we take pride in improving lives in the communities we serve.  This is a great example of that because the improvements will reduce the amount of traffic congestion, improve access to the businesses along the corridor, and enhance safety for people who travel on SR 37. The work we do can even save lives, and I am proud of what we do and our team who constantly goes the extra mile to achieve successful results like this.”

The intersection design created an overpass roundabout over SR 37 on 126th St., and an underpass for SR 37 traffic to move freely.  This replaced the previous traffic signal.

A similar design is under construction at 131st Street and State Road 37 and is expected to be completed at the end of 2022.  Bids will be opened soon for an interchange at 141st Street and State Road 37.
