Mark Thomas recently participated in Caltrans District 8’s innovation fair in San Bernardino. The fair was an opportunity for Caltrans, consultants, and other agencies to come together and show how their innovative designs have improved California’s transportation infrastructure. As an exhibitor, we highlighted how our innovative solutions are creating benefits at the following interchanges:
- US 50/Watt Avenue in Sacramento. We designed a grade-separated Class I path to improve safety for bicycles and pedestrians through the interchange. Check it out in action:
