Under the contract, the joint venture will identify the scope of improvements, potential cost and construction schedule for the reconstruction of the city’s Circle Interchange. The interchange carries more than 300,000 vehicles per day. During 2010, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration and the American Transportation Research Institute identified the interchange as the No. 1 bottleneck among highways crucial to the nation’s freight transportation system.
“AECOM is honored to partner and share its expertise with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the local community on this critical transportation-infrastructure project,” said John M. Dionisio, AECOM chairman and chief executive officer. “The proposed project would drive mobility and environmental improvements for Chicago’s residents and visitors.”
The value of AECOM’s contract was not disclosed.
