This year, the IRF honours 11 projects from around the world, each leading the way in innovation across major road and mobility disciplines. The selection was made by an international panel of senior road development specialists.

According to IRF Global Chairman Dr Bill Sowell, “The winners of the 2022 IRF Global Road Achievement Awards are an asset to an industry that is constantly investing in new solutions to deliver gains and sustainability advances that benefit everyone."

The winning projects this year range from a 130km expressway traversing a national park in Guizhou Province, China, with a minimised environmental footprint, to a sophisticated multimodal travel demand tool that uses AI and Big Data analytics to support decision-making processes in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
