Fishbeck Celebrates Recognition, Season of Growth

Study finds enough parking in downtown Ada, but efficiency needs improvement

ADA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — As downtown Ada continues to grow, township leaders took a closer look at whether the area has enough parking to keep up with the crowds. On Thursday, officials shared the results of a parking study conducted by consulting firm Fishbeck. The study took a full inventory of spaces across downtown, measured usage during busy periods — including a farmers market, weekend activity and a weekday evening event — and gathered community input through stakeholder interviews, a public open house and an online survey that drew hundreds of responses.

Farm Lane Design/Build Bridge Replacement Project Earns Merit Award at the 2025 ACEC Awards

We're excited to share that our Farm Lane Design/Build Bridge Replacement project has earned a Merit Award at the 2025 ACEC Awards! This project replaced the 1936 Farm Lane Bridge over the Red Cedar River, which connects MSU’s north and south campuses—serving 12,000 vehicles and 7,000 pedestrians daily. The new, single 123-foot span not only enhanced vital infrastructure but also seamlessly complements the historic architecture of the area. Congratulations to our dedicated team for setting a new innovative and thoughtful design standard!

Miller Bros. and Fishbeck Rebuild Busy Southern Segment of I-75 to Meet Future Traffic Needs

“It is a heavily traveled freeway corridor,” said Robb Welch, Vice President/Senior Civil Engineer with Lansing-based Fishbeck, which is overseeing the work to rebuild a 3.74-mile segment of the highway in Monroe County for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). “It is extremely busy with commercial traffic, a very high volume of trucks. I liken it to the scene in ‘The Matrix Reloaded’ movie, where they're jumping from one truck rooftop to another. I think you could do that on I-75.”
