Scope Of Work
This $36 million bridge, one of three contracts that were awarded to Paschen for work on the overall project, which included ramps and pavements. The 2,100-ft long bridge was built over the existing Interstate I-290 (westbound and eastbound). The project was part of ongoing work to build a new I-290 Interchange at Illinois Route 390. The flyover ramp bridge was built in three segments and included eight concrete piers with 6 to 8-ft. diameter columns and 54 steel girders to support the new ramps. The bridge’s deck is 49-ft wide (two lanes and wide shoulders on each side) and is 34-ft. above grade at its highest point.
