Various Statewide Route Surveys

Illinois Department of Transportation, District 1


OBJECTIVE

HLR conducted various route surveys in various counties for the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) on a work order basis for PTB 155-22.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Our team completed the surveys using IDOT point codes and CADD standards. Cross sections were taken at 50 or 100’ intervals and included centerline, flow line, edge of pavement, back of curb, sidewalks, driveways, pavement markings and utilities.  Manhole inspections were also performed to provide pipe sizes and invert elevations. Some of the work orders performed include:


Sauk Trail at Burnham Avenue

Performed a route survey on Sauk Trail from Torrence Avenue to US 30 for Phase I engineering design.  The project consisted of cross sections and topography for approximately 1.5 miles in Sauk Village.


IL 132 from Munn Road to Sand Lake Road

Performed a route survey on IL 132 from Munn Road to Sand Lake Road for a Phase I engineering design.  The project consisted of cross sections and topography for approximately 0.7 mile in Lindenhurst.


U.S. 20 at the Elgin/O’Hare Expressway

Performed a route survey on U.S. 20 from Ontarioville Road to Greenbrook Boulevard for Phase I engineering design.  The project consisted of cross sections and topography for approximately 1.1 mile in Hanover Park.


U.S. 6, Maple Road at Gougar Road

Performed a route survey on U.S. 6 at Gougar Road for a Phase I engineering design.  The project consisted of cross sections and topography for approximately 1.2 miles in Joliet.


IL 19, Judd Avenue and Scott Street

Performed a route survey on IL 19 from Mannheim Road to 25th Avenue for a Phase I engineering design.  The project consisted of cross-sections and topography for approximately 2.0 miles in Schiller Park.


IL 176 at Brown Street, Wauconda

Performed a route survey on IL 176 from U.S. 12 to Osage Street for Phase I engineering design.  The project consisted of cross sections and topography for approximately one mile.


IL 59 at Stearns Road

Performed a route survey on IL 59 at Stearns Road in Bartlett for Phase I engineering design.  The project consisted of cross sections and topography for approximately one mile.


IL 126 at County Line Road

Completed a route survey on IL 126 at the Will/Kendall County line for Phase I engineering design.  The survey included cross sections and topography for approximately one mile.


U.S. 20 at West Union Road and Coral Road

Performed a route survey of U.S. 20 near Marengo in McHenry County for Phase I engineering design.  The project involved cross sections and topography for approximately 2.5 miles of rural roadway.


Deerpath Road at U.S. 41

Completed a route survey of Deerpath Road from US 41 to Skokie River in Lake Forest for Phase I engineering design.  The survey included cross sections and topography for approximately 1.5 miles of urban highway.
