LEWISTON — The city of Lewiston has received the 2016 Excellence in Concrete Award for Architectural Concrete from the Northern New England Concrete Promotion Association. The newly-installed colored concrete sidewalks on Lisbon Street were designed by city staff as part of the Maine Department of Transportation’s Locally Administered Project program, with the majority of the project funded by the Federal Highway Administration.
The project replaced the existing failing concrete pavers with a cast-in-place, colored concrete pattern with brick inlay and paver edging. The sidewalks were completed as part of a larger enhancement project, which included repaving the street, lighting upgrades, ADA upgrades and signal improvements to the downtown.
“This award was a pleasant surprise for the city to receive,” said Dave Jones, public works director. “The Lisbon Street project is one we are very proud of, and it is rewarding for others to recognize all that went into making the project a success.”
The project was nominated for the award by concrete sub-contractor Sundown Construction, owned by Mike & Tim Mercier. J Pratt Construction owner Josh Pratt was the project contractor, and Lewiston’s Ryan Barnes served as project engineer.
The Northern New England Concrete Promotion Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, improvement and growth of the ready-mixed concrete industry. Since 1987, the association has worked diligently to represent the concrete industry through ongoing training and education, promotion, safety concerns, and long-range planning efforts. It serves and promotes the concrete industry in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
