Florida transportation project receives 2019 National Design-Build Merit Award
August 2019 – Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) honors the best design-build projects from
across the nation annually. This year, the Florida State Road 9B Phase III (SR 9B) project, which Arcadis
served as the lead design firm, received the DBIA National Merit Award in the Transportation category.
SR 9B Phase III is a vital transportation link for the rapidly growing Northwest St. Johns County region of
Florida. The final 2.5 miles limited access highway project features include: nine bridge structures, four
pairs of overpass bridges, prefabricated pedestrian bridge, full intelligent traffic system (ITS), and
lighting. The design-build team worked closely with Florida Department of Transportation and all project
stakeholders to ensure a seamless transition from the previous SR 9B Phase II project, as well as working
on concurrent improvement projects to fully integrate the entire corridor with adjacent projects. Learn
