WILLIAMSPORT, PA – Larson Design Group (LDG) is proud to congratulate Union County on receiving the 2026 Road and Bridge Safety Improvement Award for its Union County Local Culvert Bundle project. Presented by the Pennsylvania Highway Information Association (PHIA) in partnership with PennDOT, the award recognizes projects that improve transportation safety through innovative planning, collaboration, and infrastructure investment.
Working alongside Union County and five participating municipalities, LDG provided engineering services for a coordinated effort to replace six deteriorated culvert structures. By bundling the projects into a single initiative, the team maximized funding opportunities, streamlined project delivery, and improved safety and reliability for residents, emergency responders, school transportation, agricultural vehicles, and the traveling public.

“This project demonstrates what can be accomplished when counties, municipalities, and engineering partners work together toward a common goal,” said Duane Gaugler, PE, Director of Bridge Design at LDG.” By bundling multiple culvert replacements into a single initiative, Union County was able to maximize available funding, improve critical infrastructure, and deliver safer, more resilient roadways for the communities that rely on them every day. We’re honored to have partnered with Union County on a project that is making a lasting impact.”
The project improved six aging structures across Union County by replacing them with modern concrete box culverts that meet current design standards, improve hydraulic capacity, enhance roadway safety, and reduce the number of poor-condition structures throughout the county. It also serves as a model for how collaboration and strategic funding can help communities advance critical infrastructure improvements more efficiently.
LDG congratulates Union County and all project partners on this well-deserved recognition and is proud to have supported a project that will benefit the region for years to come.
