KCI Technologies Inc., a multi-disciplined engineering firm with offices in the Northeast, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, accepted a Project of the Year Award from the County Engineers Association of Maryland at the associations Fall conference in Ocean City, Maryland. The Award honored KCI’s work to rehabilitate and strengthen the historic arch bridge carrying East Oak Ridge Drive over Antietam Creek in Funkstown, Maryland.

Built in 1833, the 143-foot-long, single-lane stone masonry arch bridge carries heavy traffic to and from the bustling local retail and business district. The deteriorated bridge was rehabilitated while maintaining the bridge’s characteristics and historic integrity.
