The Illinois Department of Transportation, District 2, retained Maurer-Stutz, Inc., to design a replacement structure for the bridge carrying IL 82 north of Geneseo over the Hennepin Canal.  The existing three-span bridge was deteriorating and IDOT had determined that it needed to be replaced.  Services included a complete hydraulic design, a Structure Geotechnical Report; Type, Size, and Location Study; and Final Plans.  Since the Historic Hennepin Canal is a State Park, close coordination with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources was a major part of the design process.  It was desired that the new bridge accommodate a bicycle path.

Close coordination and cooperation between Maurer-Stutz, Inc., the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources resulted in a design of a replacement structure for this special site which will satisfy all of the stakeholders in this project.  Maurer-Stutz, Inc., also completed a comprehensive Life-Cycle Cost Analysis to determine the optimal structure type for this location.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) secured Maurer-Stutz Inc to complete bridge inspections for the portion of Interstate 74 that passes through Danville, Illinois. This project consisted of crews on the ground and in lifts manually sounding all faces of the bridges. From under decks, to abutments, to peers, our crews checked, noted, and rechecked areas of potential wear so they could be documented and corrected in the future.

Peoria County hired Maurer-Stutz Inc. to design and construct a new bridge to replace an aging one. Specifically, we replaced a single span Pratt pny truss bridge with a triple cell concrete box culvert.

This project consisted of earthwork, structure and pavement items, installation of a temporary detour run-around with signals. Due to this road being the only route in and out for residents, it was necessary to keep at least one lane of alternating traffic open.
