Transportation Design
For decades, our transportation design group has been the cornerstone of our business. From the original Fitzgerald Expressway in Boston in the 1950s and Boston’s Central Artery/Tunnel in the 1990s to the recent relocation of the I-195 highway in Rhode Island and our ongoing work on the Beaver River Bridge and Mon-Fayette Expressway in Southwestern Pennsylvania, CDR Maguire has designed and engineered some of the most iconic transportation infrastructures throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
