The project entails a total length of nearly 900 feet. Two hundred of those 900 feet includes the reconstruction of the bridge. In addition, the work for the multi-use path connects California Park on the south and Horner Park on the north. The total length of the shared use path improvement is approximately 850 feet.
The project consists of the removal and reconstruction of the Irving Park Road Bridge over the North Branch of the Chicago River, Irving Park Road pavement resurfacing, drainage modifications, installation of pavement markings, erosion and sediment control devices, landscaping, construction of a shared use path including retaining walls, roadway and underpass lighting, water main relocation, and maintenance of traffic.
