Engineering Design, construction, and related services for the replacement of Bridge 86 on the Rock Island (RI) Line will be funded by this project. Bridge 86 dates back to 1916 and spans 78th Street at milepost 8.62 in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood of Chicago. Contemporary construction methods will allow two-track service to be maintained during the bridge replacement. The replacement abutment wall at the south end of the bridge will include ground-floor space for a leasable storefront, a new staircase, and an elevator.

This project funds the replacement of Bridge 275 on Metra’s Rock Island District. The 94-year-old bridge spans over 96th Avenue in Mokena at milepost 27.5.

This project funds the replacement of Bridges A110 and A56 on Metra’s Milwaukee District North (MD-N) Line. Both bridges were constructed in 1909 and span the North Branch Chicago River. Bridge A110 is located in Northbrook at milepost 21.3 and Bridge A56 is at milepost 10.85 in Chicago just south of the Edgebrook station. This is a multi-year, multi-phase project that will fund design engineering services and any environmental analyses as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Construction funds are provided in later years.

This project funds design services and the construction of a replacement bridge that will increase the capacity of trains and service on the Milwaukee District North (MD-N) Line. The new Bridge A318 will add a second-track siding over the North Branch Chicago River in Rondout at milepost 32.4. A second-track siding will allow for additional train movements through the Fox Lake Subdivision, which runs northwest of Rondout and includes seven stations.

This project will provide for the rehabilitation of retaining walls on the BNSF commuter line. Retaining wall sections at intermittent locations along the right-of-way will be rehabilitated. This work typically includes complete reconstruction with steel sheet piling, concrete panels or bin wall to prevent retaining wall deterioration that can result in destabilization of the roadbed and in turn lead to track shifting.

These projects improvement of bridges and the rehabilitation of retaining walls at various locations to prevent structural issues. Project funds proactively address deterioration that can result in the destabilization of the roadbed, track shifting, and slow orders. Bridge improvements may include but are not limited to the rehabilitation of wing walls, addressing cracked bearing blocks, renewing bridge seats on abutments, and protective coating.

These projects improvement of bridges and the rehabilitation of retaining walls at various locations on the UPR to prevent structural issues. Project funds proactively address deterioration that can result in the destabilization of the roadbed, track shifting, and slow orders. Bridge improvements may include but are not limited to the rehabilitation of wing walls, addressing cracked bearing blocks, renewing bridge seats on abutments, and protective coating.

This project funds engineering design services for the replacement of the Grand Avenue Bridge. Three main line tracks utilize the bridge including the Milwaukee District North and West Lines and the North Central Service. The bridge, constructed in 1898, spans over the intersection of Grand Avenue and Homan Avenue at milepost 4.5. Construction funds are provided in future years.

This project funds engineering design services for the replacement of the Z 14 C in Chicago. The bridge, constructed in 1903, spans over the intersection of Keystone Avenue Bridge at milepost 5.69. Construction funds are provided in future years.
