The Edens Spur project included an exceptional team of roadway, structural, water resources and construction engineers working together to provide the community with an expressway that increased capacity, improved safety, reduced environmental impacts, and aesthetically enhanced the corridor. The design and construction teams exceeded the Tollway’s expectations by completing the work on an accelerated schedule within the established budget. Design began in September 2017 with construction beginning in May 2018 on the first construction contract. The remaining contracts were designed while construction was ongoing. The design and construction management teams coordinated their efforts throughout construction to timely deliver any revisions to contract packages that accommodated the changing landscape of construction. The roadway was successfully reopened to traffic in October 2021. In just four years, the design and construction of three miles of roadway and fourteen bridges was complete.
