IL Rte 47 Reconstruction
HEI was selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation, District 3 to provide preliminary engineering services including the preparation of plans, specification and estimates for the reconstruction and expansion of 11.5 miles of IL Route 47 from north of Interstate 80 in Morris to Caton Farm Road. This project was initiated to address future growth, increase capacity, and improve safety.
These improvements consisted of reconstruction and expansion of the existing two-lane rural roadway to a 4-lane facility with a median. The southern portion of the improvement has an urban cross-section with curb and gutter and storm sewer. The northern portion has a rural cross-section with shoulders and ditches. These improvements include traffic signal improvements, roadway lighting, two bridge replacements and replacements of several large box culverts. Detailed traffic management plans were developed to ensure safe and efficient travel through the site.
