The effort to remove the dams on Klamath River in Northern California and Oregon has been chosen as a Project of the Year Finalist in this year’s regional Best Projects Contest.
ENR West is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2025 Projects of the Year in the Northern California and Southern California subregions.
In August, the winners of the Northern California and Southern California 2025 Best Project contest were announced with the Excellence in Safety and Excellence in Sustainability winners named shortly thereafter. The judges then evaluated all of the Best Project honorees and selected three in each contest as finalists for Project of the Year.
The Project of the Year for each contest will be profiled in the Oct. 27 issue of ENR West. Those projects as well as all of the winning project teams — as well as the Owner of the Year, Design Firm of the Year, Contractors of the Year, Specialty Contractor of the Year and Legacy Award winners – will be recognized at a pair of awards events in November.
- Southern California awards will be presented on Nov. 5 in Los Angeles. (click here for more info)
- Northern California awards will be presented on Nov. 7 in San Francisco. (click here for more info)
Congratulations to this year’s finalists!
