The American Public Works Association (APWA) Washington Chapter awarded the Birch Bay berm project of the year in the environment category for projects that cost $5 million to $25 million.
Whatcom County Public Works staff accepted the award April 27 at the Greater Tacoma Center in Tacoma, according to a county press release.
Officially called the Birch Bay Drive and Pedestrian Facility Project, the 1.56-mile-long project protects the road, improves pedestrian safety and restores the beach’s natural habitat.
It was one of only seven award recipients in Washington state.
APWA is a not-for-profit, international organization with more than 30,000 members involved in public works and 63 chapters in North America.
