Awarded a 2004 Globe Award from the ARTBA Transportation Development Foundation for its work on the South Lake Shore Drive Reconstruction Project in Chicago, IL. This one-in-five national awards is given out in recognition of:

• an outstanding job in protecting and/or enhancing the natural environment in the planning, design and construction of U.S. transportation infrastructure projects;
• transportation construction-related product manufacturers and material suppliers that utilize exemplary environmental processes to protect and enhance the natural environment.

The South Lake Shore Drive Reconstruction Project was a 6.5 mile, nearly $150 million project that ran along Lake Michigan, resulting in the reconstruction of the multi-lane roadway, replacement of the storm water system and roadway lighting; construction of five new pedestrian underpasses; replacement of two existing highway bridges, along with extensive landscaping. Nearly 15 acres of green space were reclaimed by removing unnecessary pavement.

Noted were the efforts to protect Lake Michigan's water quality. While most of the original run-off ran directly into the lake, the project team constructed a new roadway drainage system that re-routed most of the polluted runoff into the City's sewer system, and installed backflow guards to prevent cross-contamination.

Reyes Group received the "2003 Project of the Year" Award for its work on the 18th Street Pedestrian Bridge, along with McHugh Construction.

Reyes Group, along with FH Paschen, was awarded the "2002 Project of the Year" Award for its work on the Torrence Avenue Roadway Improvement Project.
