I-170: Pulaski Street to Green Street
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard: Saratoga Street to Eutaw Street


Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd

Location: Baltimore, Maryland
Clients: Maryland Department of Transportation Interstate Division for Baltimore City

I-170 (now known as US 40) was intended to link downtown Baltimore with I-70 west of the city. Although the entire project was never completed, the 1.4 mile long section we designed was constructed, and serves to relieve traffic in the downtown area. Our work included design of the depressed 6-lane roadway and adjacent retaining walls, as well as the design of the reconstruction of the parallel streets, Franklin and Mulberry.

The work was performed as a joint venture with Diver Brothers, who designed the bridges.

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is a 1.7 mile long urban arterial that runs along the west side of downtown Baltimore, from Russell Street near Camden Yards to the south of Eutaw Street near the State Office Complex on the north. We designed the northern third of the Boulevard, from Saratoga Street to Eutaw Street, including the crossing of I-170.

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard received the Federal Highway Administration Design Excellence Award.
