Essential upgrades will strengthen long-term resilience and enhance safety on vital US multimodal transportation network

Jacobs (NYSE:J) has been selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for two projects to modernize the I-290 (Eisenhower Expressway) corridor, a critical link to the Chicago area transportation network.

The first project includes design services and project management for the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad bridge replacement — a key enabler for the future widening of the I-290 corridor, reducing congestion for more than 200,000 vehicles daily. Jacobs will use accelerated construction staging to minimize disruption in this highly active freight corridor while protecting essential utilities.
