Rob Morrison serves as  Associate Vice President and Project Manager, providing project management, design, and construction support services for various highway and bridge assignments, including projects for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.

 

Rob managed the replacement of an existing eight-span, welded steel girder bridge carrying US Route 422 over the Schuylkill River, Norfolk Southern Railroad, and an Upper Merion Township Trail in Montgomery and Chester Counties, PA. The replacement bridge provides a six-lane (plus EB and WB auxiliary lanes) facility. Also known as the “US 422 River Crossing Complex Projects”, this project included one mile of roadway realignment, reconstruction, and widening; three additional bridge replacements; one new bridge; two retaining walls; and one sound barrier. The project was awarded the 2021 ENR MidAtlantic Best Project (Highway/Bridge Level) and the 2020 ASHE Delaware Valley Section Project of the Year (over $20 million category). The project was also featured in Roads & Bridges (May/June 2021) and Highway Builder (Summer 2021).

 

Rob also served as the project manager for the final design for the 2003 Pennsylvania Partnership for Highway Quality Design Award-winning, four-lane, urban limited access I-99 Corridor, which connected US Route 322 – commonly known as the Mt. Nittany Expressway - with PA Route 26 in Centre County, PA. The project included five miles of new expressway with four interchanges, ten bridges, three culverts, and two retaining walls. He was also a design engineer for the preliminary engineering and final design of a new 2.1-mile collector-distributor roadway system for US Route 30 in Lancaster County, PA. The project included nine bridges, 12 retaining walls, and five sound barriers.

 

Rob graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering. He also earned a Master of Engineering in Engineering Science from Penn State University. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in six states, including Pennsylvania. As a project manager, he has prepared design schedules, manpower projections, project budgets, and coordinating sub-consultants, right-of-way acquisitions, utility companies, and public agencies. Rob has been responsible for coordinating project status meetings and public meetings and reviewing project invoicing and designs. As a project engineer, he has experience designing horizontal and vertical alignment, drainage, erosion and sediment pollution controls, pavement, signing and pavement markings, lighting, and maintenance and protection of traffic plans.
