Annie Glidden Road at Fairview Drive Intersection

DeKalb, Illinois
Municipal

Home

The Annie Glidden Road at Fairview Drive intersection was in need of widening and pavement repair. While the intersection improvement was previously included in an approved Phase I study along Annie Glidden Road, a new PDR was required to receive IDOT/FHWA approval. To ensure the City could utilize $800,000 in federal funding prior to expiration of a legacy Federal earmark, WBK completed both Phase I and II concurrently.

Members of the team conducting an environmental survey before construction.

The following items were included in the Phase I and Phase II scope of services:

• Topographic Site Survey and Existing ROW

• Plats and Legal Descriptions

• Geotechnical Investigation

• Geometric Design, Intersection Analysis, and Intersection Design Study

• Wetland Delineation and Report

• Environmental Surveys

• Location Drainage Analysis

• Project Development Report

• Public Involvement

• IDOT and Tollway Coordination

• Phase II Plans, Specifications, and Estimate

Subsequent to a successful bid, WBK was engaged to provide construction management and oversight. The challenges of construction included coordination with an adjacent Tollway project that impacted the I-88 and Annie Glidden interchange, Northern Illinois University student and football events/traffic, and adjacent user concerns with access. Utility relocations created schedule challenges; however, all of the underground utility improvements and pavement/geometric improvements were completed in 2018. The final traffic signal improvements were completed in the spring of 2019.

Phase III: intersection construction

WBK Engineering (WBK) was responsible for the following tasks during construction on this project:

• Full-Time Construction Observation and Documentation

• Utility Relocation Coordination with ComEd, Comcast, and Metro Net

• Weekly day-time and bi-weekly night-time traffic control inspections

• Weekly Soil Erosion & Sediment Control Inspections

• Pay Estimates & Change Orders

• Extension of Time Requests

• Project Documentation in accordance with IDOT Procedures, utilizing ICORS

• Project Closeout with IDOT and City of DeKalb
