Overview
Overview
The Village previously received Federal funds for capping I-290 (Cap the Ike). The Village entered into an agreement with URS Corporation, now AECOM, in 2009 for a phase I preliminary engineering study to Cap the Ike. Work on the study was suspended when IDOT began its preliminary engineering design of the I-290 Reconstruction project in order to ensure that any caps over I-290 would be feasible and compatible with IDOT's design of proposed I-290 corridor. The Federal Highway Authority is requiring that the phase I study be converted into a feasibility study to comply with their policies regarding timelines of engineering studies and advancing towards construction. The feasibility study allows the Village to move forward with studying expanded bridge decking, most notably at Oak Park Avenue and East Avenue, and aesthetic treatments on the various bridges over I-290. The study is 100% federally funded.
