I-90/94 Dan Ryan Expressway Reconstruction

Running south from near Chicago's US Cellular Field (Comiskey Park) is a 9-mile, 40-year old segment of the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94) on which the Illinois Department of Transportation will be completing over $400 million in reconstruction. The expressway carries 300,000 cars per day on this section of roadway. The reconstruction project will reduce congestion, improve pavement condition and traffic safety and reduce severe flooding on one of the most heavily traversed urban highway segments in the world.  CTE is responsible for providing comprehensive program management for the entire 9-mile length of the project and designing three miles of the new highway.  Program management includes monitoring and reporting on schedules and project costs; coordinating all lighting design and construction packaging for the project; design review; and maintenance of the project website to exchange information and resolve design issues.  This section of the Expressway bisects a densely populated part of the city, so as part of their program management responsibilities CTE proposed an extensive public involvement effort.
