Project Highlights

Tri-State Tollway (I-294) Reconstruction, Mile Long Bridge

Chicago, IL
The Mile Long Bridge is a critical piece of infrastructure to the Central Tri-State Tollway (I-294) corridor as it carries drivers over two major railroads, three water sources and local roads, and over a major distribution center for UPS and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway. Bowman is providing Phase III construction management services for this multi-year project.

Blue River Bridge

Crete, NE
In this urban bridge project spanned the Blue River in Crete, NE. Our team performed the survey, design and construction inspection and administration of two bridges, storm sewer, concrete paving, environmental monitoring, seeding and erosion control.

Villanova Pedestrian Bridge

Radnor Township, PA
The team completed the engineering and design of a pedestrian bridge and associated roadway improvements. Villanova's ultimate vision was to transform an existing paved surface parking lot between Lancaster Avenue and the SEPTA Norristown HighSpeed Rail Line into an attractive living and learning environment.

Cayce Riverwalk Stabilization and Pedestrian Bridge

Cayce, SC
The City of Cayce was hit hard by Hurricane Joaquin in 2015. The City’s Riverwalk was demolished by flooding and had closed the pedestrian areas to keep citizens safe. Our professional engineers designed a slope stabilization plan and provided hydraulic calculations.

Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Replacement

Boston, MA
Our professional engineers coordinated with the project team to design effective temporary traffic control plans that allowed the contractor to replace the bridge in the most cost and time-effective manner.

Hurricane Creek Bridge Replacement

Columbia, SC
Deep in the woods of the Great Pee Dee River Heritage Preserve was a bridge that was on the verge of failure due to high water events, a build of debris, and age. Our team worked with SCDNR to design a solution that would solve many of the site’s issues.
