Judlau, an OHL North America Company, has been awarded two new contracts in the city of Chicago for a combined total of $36.7 million, reaffirming the company’s continued success and growth in the Midwest.
In August, Judlau was awarded a $19.4 million contract by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The project includes ramp construction on I-290 (Eisenhower Expressway) to Outbound I-90/94 (Dan Ryan Expressway) in Chicago. Over 13 months Judlau will construct retaining walls and widen the ramp for future improvements that will reduce traffic and enhance travel. The company has a positive history with IDOT on previously completed projects and continues to reinforce this positive relationship on current projects to improve travel efficiency, including more than $105 million worth of work on adjoining projects in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago which are scheduled for completion in the 1st quarter of 2019.
In September, Judlau was awarded its first contract for Metra valued at $17.3 million. The 30-month project includes the removal, replacement, and rehabilitation of 11 Railroad Bridge structures in the heart of downtown Chicago.
“Our goal is to build and enhance transportation and highway infrastructure to improve the safety and mobility of cities like Chicago, where we’ve been present since 2014,” said Ashok Patel, CEO of North America. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with IDOT on this project and look forward to working with Metra to help make bridge improvements.”
