Award puts ARF on the world stage

 The Australian Road Forum has received international recognition with the presentation of its IRF Global Road Achievement Award in the United States.

The Award was accepted on ARF's behalf by Mr Wes Ballentine of Transurban at the IRF's Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale in October.

The prestigious Award recognises ARF’s significant success in strategically reforming and rebuilding its membership over the last three years.

Started by the IRF in 2000, the Global Road Achievement Awards seek to honor and recognise road projects throughout the world that demonstrate excellence and innovation.

ARF member Maunsell also won an Award this year, while another member - the Queensland Department of Main Roads - is also a past winner.
