Successful Reconstruction of
170^th Street Bridge in South Holland

            On Thursday, December 9, 2004, a ribbon cutting ceremony marked the official completion of the 170^th Street bridge in South Holland.  Village President Don A. De Graff, other elected officials and administrators were joined by representatives of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Cape Construction, Globetrotter Engineering and Robinson Engineering in celebrating the successful project.

As part of the reconstruction of the Kingery Expressway, and under the supervision of Globetrotter Engineering and IDOT, the Village of South Holland now has a brand new bridge, elevated with new longer slopes to eliminate a long standing flood problem, and new driveways for many residents in the village.

“With outstanding cooperation and partnership, IDOT, Globetrotter Engineering, Robinson Engineering, Cape Construction and Village staff made this project a success for everyone,” said Ed Wilmes, Director of Public Works for the Village of South Holland.  “This is a sterling example of the public and private sectors working well together.”
