First Bridge Deck Pour of the Season Completed on I-80 Project

​

 Crews have officially completed the first bridge deck pour of the season as part of the I-80 reconstruction in Will County. On April 21, concrete was placed for the new Richards Street bridge over Hickory Creek.  This is a key step toward modernizing I-80 in Will County. 

 

The Richards Street bridge is one of over 30 bridges being rebuilt or replaced as part of the larger effort to reconstruct 16 miles of I-80. Upcoming bridge deck pours include I-80 over Rock Run Creek, the Joliet Junction Trail, and Midland Avenue, as work ramps up across the corridor.
