Anthony Nicastro joined Urban in May 2023 as part of the Constructability and Value Engineering group, taking on the role of Senior Construction Manager. In this capacity, he helps manage programs, including the PennDOT On-Call, CTDOT On-Call, and SEPTA Trolley Modification Constructability Task, as well as handling internal constructability reviews for Urban’s designs. He is also involved with the Construction Management (CM) group, most recently contributing to the CCD City Hall Lighting Program project.
Before joining Urban, Anthony spent 12 years working with large, heavy civil contractors in the Mid-Atlantic region. For seven of those years, he operated in the Baltimore/DC metro area, working on various projects such as commercial site developments, constructing new county landfill cells, and reconstructing Taxiway Whiskey at Andrews Air Force Base (the Air Force One Taxiway).
One of his most significant accomplishments was his role in the MD-404 dualization design-build project. As part of a joint venture, he helped reconstruct 9.1 miles of MD-404 on Maryland’s Eastern Shore within an intense 18-month timeline. The project’s complexity and schedule demands provided him the opportunity to apply value engineering and constructability expertise directly to field operations, ultimately ensuring the road’s opening to traffic by Thanksgiving 2017.
In July 2018, Anthony relocated to Pennsylvania, continuing his work as a contractor on the US-1 RC1 project, where he managed the roadway component. He also managed the New Falls Road over the PA Turnpike project.
Anthony earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Architectural Engineering from Drexel University and is a registered Professional Engineer (PE) in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
