Geotech is also pleased to be joining Volkert & Associates, Inc.to provide services as a subconsultant on an IDOT project in Lake County, Illinois. Geotech will be providing roadway design, drainage design and structure design services for this project that consists of Phase I engineering services required for all work associated with the preparation of preliminary engineering and environmental studies for the improvement of IL 83 from IL 132 to IL 120 and IL 137 from IL 83 to Peterson Road, approximately 11 miles. Typically, the existing roadway cross section is one lane in each direction (undivided) with shoulders. Land use abutting the corridor includes residential, commercial, industrial, and potential historic properties. The improvement is anticipated to address geometric modifications through either widening/resurfacing or reconstruction to accommodate existing and projected 2040 travel demands with consideration of the need for a center median to accommodate turning vehicles with auxiliary lanes at intersections and additional through traffic lanes throughout the project limits. Existing signals will be modernized and other intersections will be investigated for signal warrants. Bridge inspections and reports will also be required. Context Sensitive Solutions will also be an important part of this project. The estimated construction cost is $100,000,000.
