Scope Of Work
We demolished the 52-year-old Western Avenue Viaduct, which extended from south of Barry Avenue north to Roscoe Street. The bridge had fallen into disrepair over the years, and could not be rehabilitated. We reconstructed Western Avenue between the Chicago River bridge and W. Roscoe Street, and resurfaced surrounding portions of Western Avenue and cross streets. We also rebuilt the Chicago River Bridge deck, and installed curbs and gutters, sidewalk and median, sewers, signals, roadway lighting, signage, streetscape elements, and landscaping as part of this high-profile project.
