DEA staff Dan Iliyn, Ted Stewart, Jim Culpepper, Patrick Wolf, and John Volk recently attended the Northwest Department of Transportation Roundtable hosted by Washington State Department of Transportation in Vancouver, WA. It was a wonderful opportunity for representatives from Oregon Department of Transportation, Washington State Department of Transportation, Idaho Transportation Department, and Federal Highway Administration to discuss their current initiatives and strategies using Bentley products. The meeting included a panel discussion on Digital Delivery and Building Information Modeling Automation, and other topics like Creating Standards, Project Delivery, Leveraging Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Delivery Lifecycle.

We’re thrilled to announce that two of our projects have been recognized at the APWA Colorado Awards! Iliff Avenue Improvements for Arapahoe County received the award for Transportation, Large Community. This project enhances connectivity, safety, and accessibility for residents and commuters. Reestablishment of 56th Avenue over Kiowa Creek for Adams County was recognized in the category of Disaster or Emergency Construction, Repair, or Response, Large Community. This critical project restored resilient infrastructure after a major flooding event. Huge congratulations to the teams who made these achievements possible! #APWAColorado #EngineeringExcellence #InfrastructureInnovation
