Eldamain Road Extension

HR Green performed Phase III resident engineering and inspection on the $7.5 million rural reconstruction project through the heavily traveled 2.25 mile Eldamain Road corridor from US 34 to Galena Road in Kendall County. The project was let through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), District 3. All construction was performed in accordance with the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, IDOT Highway Standards, approved plans, and special provisions. 

The Eldamain Road extension project consisted of the realignment and construction of a new two-lane concrete highway separated by an 18-foot median and 9-foot asphalt shoulders. The new roadway profile is significantly higher than the old roadway so as to improve drainage and create a safer roadway for motorists along existing roadway vertical and horizontal curves. The project included the installation of new storm sewers, a 4ft x 3ft box culvert, underdrains, and the widening of Corneils Road intersection. HR Green monitored the contractor’s operation for compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and traffic control standards. HR Green performed weekly erosion control inspections so as to maintain the NPDES permit requirements. 

Project records were kept using the State’s quantity tracking software, ICORS, and evidence of material inspection was maintained in accordance with IDOT’s Project Procedures Guide
