Lake Street Reconstruction

Ciorba Group is providing preliminary, and final design engineering services for the reconstruction of Lake Street from Ashland Avenue to Halsted Street, 1.3 miles total. Project limits are from Ashland Ave to I-90/94 (Kennedy Expressway). The CTA Green Line elevated tracks run along the entire length of project. The project will lower the street profile to increase clearance for the CTA overhead structure. Improvements also include the installation of new street lighting, traffic signal modernizations, drainage system improvements and the removal of hazardous materials. Landscape and streetscape enhancements will improve the corridor aesthetics. Ciorba coordinated with adjacent property owners for the removal or replacement of existing vaulted sidewalks. Federal STP funds will be used for construction so all plan documents to be prepared in accordance with IDOT requirements.
