REHABILITATING CHICAGO'S EXPRESSWAYS

IN 1972 THE ILLINOIS DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS COMMENCED THE MASSIVE UNDERTAKING OF REHABILITATING TWO OF ITS MOST HEAVILY TRAVELED FREEWAYS IN THE CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AREA, AT A COST APPROACHING 16 MILLION DOLLARS. THE REPORT DEALS WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF OVERLAY IN ONE CASE AND PAVEMENT REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT IN ANOTHER. THE EXISTING DRAINAGE SYSTEM WOULD UNDERGO EXTENSIVE REPAIR AND CLEANING. A NEW NETWORK OF 8 IN. (200 MM) UNDERDRAINS WOULD BE INSTALLED TO CONTROL GROUNDWATER SEEPAGE. CURB AND SHOULDER RESTORATION COMPLETED THE CONTRACT. /AUTHOR/
