Kapsch TrafficCom Completes Fort Lauderdale Tunnel Rehab Project
DULUTH, GA / ACCESS Newswire / April 16, 2025 / Kapsch TrafficCom is proud to announce the successful completion of the Henry E. Kinney Tunnel Rehabilitation and Pedestrian Plaza project in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
This transformative project, led by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), enhances both transportation infrastructure and community spaces, setting a new standard for urban integration.
'The Henry E. Kinney Tunnel project is a shining example of how we can blend safety, mobility, efficiency, and community enhancement. It represents a commitment to creating spaces where people can connect and thrive,' says Kapsch TrafficCom North America President JB Kendrick. 'We're incredibly proud to be part of this initiative, and it truly shows how North American leaders look to Kapsch when they need reliable, innovative solutions for critical infrastructure.'
Begun in 2021, the three-mile tunnel features a state-of-the-art SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system that incorporates multiple systems for tunnel safety, traffic management and core elements like lighting and air conditioning in the tunnel. The system also provides real-time data, automated alerts and remote system controls.
This allows transportation authorities to detect and respond to incidents quickly, ensuring minimal disruptions and greater efficiency. The systems are designed to improve traffic management and safety, ensuring a seamless flow of vehicles through the tunnel and surrounding areas.
Additionally, the project included milling and resurfacing SR 5/US-1 from Rio Vista Boulevard to the southern end of the tunnel, the installation of intelligent transportation systems along SR5/US-1, an extension of the tunnel top to accommodate a pedestrian plaza with new fountains, seating facilities, redesigned brick pavers, artificial turf, and landscaping.
The tunnel is just one of many major tunnel, bridge, airport, and major highway projects led by Kapsch TrafficCom in North America, where the company handles more than 650 million vehicle crossings in the Northeast alone.

AmphiStar and Kensing Announce Strategic Partnership to Bring Upcycled Biosurfactants to the North American Personal Care Market
Partnership delivers localized access to 100% upcycled biosurfactants with significantly reduced environmental impact, while advancing novel designer molecule development. GHENT, Belgium and KANKAKEE, Ill., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Belgian biotech innovator AmphiStar, a pioneer in 100% upcycled microbial biosurfactants and Kensing, a leading North American producer of high-purity surfactants, and the global leader in upcycled plant-based vitamin E and sterols, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver sustainable, next-generation biosurfactants to the North American personal care market. As part of this collaboration, AmphiStar's next-generation biosurfactants, produced by microbial fermentation of repurposed agri-food side streams, will be launched into the North American market by Kensing in an exclusive partnership. Leveraging its deep surfactant expertise and established market access, Kensing will play a critical role in driving adoption across the Personal Care and HI&I Industries. Kensing will work with AmphiStar to develop regionally sourced circular feedstocks from biobased waste and sidestreams, such as plant oils from Kensing's production, with a near-term plan to fully onshore production in the US. This will not only reduce transport-related emissions but will also allow the partners to build a resilient, decentralised supply chain aligned with evolving customer expectations. The products offer performance for formulators seeking to develop mild and sustainable formulations. They can be used as emulsifiers and co-surfactants in body lotions, creams, shampoos, body wash, make-up remover and other products. Kensing and AmphiStar will also co-develop AmphiStar's recently launched library of 80+ sustainable and unique 'designer' biosurfactant platform technology, with the shared goal of further developing and commercializing high-potential innovations in the personal care, agrochemical and HI&I markets. "Kensing's scientific expertise in formulation and production of plant-based ingredients coupled with our novel biomanufacturing technology platform make this an ideal and complementary partnership that will not only help us bring our sustainable biosurfactants to the North American market, but also see us jointly develop and launch new ones in the future", said Pierre-Franck Valentin, CEO of AmphiStar. "This partnership with AmphiStar reflects Kensing's bold commitment to leapfrog into the next generation of biosurfactants," said Serge Rogasik, President and CEO of Kensing. "By combining AmphiStar's cutting-edge upcycled biosurfactant technology with Kensing's industrial scale and market reach, we are unlocking a new era of high-performance biosurfactants—formulated from upcycled biowaste, free from conventional feedstock constraints, and offering both formulation versatility and the potential for highly competitive economics at scale."AmphiStar's biosurfactants are the result of an IP-backed breakthrough technology featuring an unprecedented combination in the surfactant landscape: advanced synthetic biology, waste processing and continuous biomanufacturing eliminating reliance on fossil feedstocks and resource-intensive crops, AmphiStar's technology delivers a significantly enhanced and novel sustainability profile. A recent LCA study (March 2025) revealed the exceptional sustainability profile of AmphiStar's biosurfactants compared to both conventional chemical-based and existing biosurfactants, including a four-fold reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions, an 18-fold reduction in water deprivation, a 5.5-fold lower impact on human health and a 15-fold lower overall environmental impact.

Uber delivery business head departs; insider Macdonald appointed COO
(Reuters) -Uber Technologies said on Monday the head of its delivery business, Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, is leaving the company after nearly 13 years. As senior vice president of Uber's delivery unit, Gore-Coty oversaw the company's Uber Eats business as well as grocery and other on-demand delivery offerings, and is credited with steering the division through the COVID-19 pandemic. Uber also announced it has named Andrew Macdonald as its chief operating officer, reinstating the role almost six years after it was eliminated in a leadership overhaul in 2019. Macdonald, who has been with Uber since 2012 serving in several leadership roles, will now be responsible for Uber's mobility, delivery and autonomous businesses. He will also oversee cross-platform functions such as membership and customer support. "This is a natural next step in our evolution as a company, as we drive growth by increasing engagement across our entire platform," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said of Macdonald's appointment. The moves, effective immediately, come as Uber has been trying to expand its business portfolio to drive growth amid signs of saturation in its mainstay North American business. Uber's delivery business has also been facing stiff competition from rivals such as DoorDash. Last month, Uber signed a $700 million deal to acquire a majority stake of 85% in Turkish food and grocery delivery platform Trendyol Go.
