MNS Wins Caltrans 2025 Excellence in Transportation Awards

MNS Transportation was honored with three awards at the Caltrans 2025 Excellence in Transportation awards for their work on the Montecito Roundabouts, State Route 156 Widening, and US 101 4D North projects. These awards recognized outstanding teamwork, safety, mobility improvements, collaborative problem-solving, and innovative delivery.

Pitkins Curve: Transportation Construction Management

Rather than continuing to repair Highway 1 at Pitkins Curve or attempting to stabilize a cliff face whose underlying geologic composition would not benefit from mitigating measures, Caltrans determined that bypassing the curve with a bridge would be an optimal solution. Repeated rock slides at Pitkins Curve have hollowed the side of the cliff into a concave shape; connecting either side of the carved-out area with a bridge will allow the slides to continue without affecting motorists on the bridge. The bypassed portion of the old highway will be left intact, but inaccessible to traffic, so that it will catch debris from future rock slides.
