Durisol Helps Move Illinois
Transportation – Elmhurst, Illinois
The Reagan Memorial Highway (I-88) sees an estimated 130,000 vehicles per day. Roosevelt Road overpass, a heavily traveled stretch of the highway, was long overdue for improvements.
As part of recent developments, there was a need for noise wall construction to protect adjacent residential areas. The only problem, the I-88 bridge was not originally designed to support the weight of a concrete noise walls.
Project Details
Fortunately for the Illinois tollway, Durisol has lightweight noise solutions for bridge applications and a team of designers on hand for situations just like this.
The transparent noise barrier panels with Bird Guard proposed met IDOT’s exact needs – making way for the first-ever Illinois Tollway transparent project.
This two-year project was part of The Illinois Tollway’s Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future initiative. The work done throughout this project will ultimately extend the life of the roadway and reduce noise pollution from the highway.
