On July 7, the results of the 2019 ENR Global Best Projects competition held by the US magazine Engineering News-Record (ENR) were announced. The Senegal Thiès-Touba Highway project undertaken by China Road and Bridge Corporation won the Global Best Project award in the highway category, and the Maputo Cross-Sea Bridge in Mozambique won the Award of Merit in the bridge category.
According to the published results, a total of 32 engineering projects from more than 20 countries and regions received Global Best Project awards or Awards of Merit in 17 categories, including airports, highways, and bridges and tunnels. The ENR Global Best Projects awards not only focus on a project's safety performance, innovation, challenges, and design and construction quality, but also place special emphasis on the diversity of the project's global team and cooperation among its members, while also considering the project's impact on the local community and the construction industry.
It is reported that this was the seventh such competition organized by ENR magazine and the second time the Company has participated. In 2018, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge undertaken by the Company was named the Global Best Bridge/Tunnel Project, the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway was named the Award of Merit railway project, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Macao Port Management Area project was named the Award of Merit airport and port project.
