JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jeff Bowen, P.E., recently joined Hanson Professional Services Inc. as a vice president and will lead the firm’s Florida transportation and infrastructure efforts from the firm’s Jacksonville, Fla., office. Bowen will focus on expanding Hanson’s involvement in railroad and transportation projects throughout Florida and assist in guiding Hanson’s aviation market.
“We recognize that Florida is a major gateway to the country’s southeast and East Coast regions. The continued growth and demand on the existing transportation systems that are used for moving goods and people through this area continue to increase. Jeff Bowen brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from the transportation industry, and we are excited to have him lead our Florida transportation and infrastructure program,” Hanson’s President and CEO Sergio Pecori, P.E., said.

Specializing in interstate operations and policy, Bowen managed the master planning and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approval of one of the first reversible lane systems in Florida (Interstate 595) and oversaw microsimulation efforts for the Interstate 95 express lane project in Miami.

Additionally, Bowen managed the NEPA approval and design of the Palm Beach International Airport direct connector system, obtained NEPA approval of the Interstate 295/Collins Road collector distributor system and managed the South Florida East Coast Corridor rail study.
