Inside the Tollway

Illinois Tollway Executive Director Cassaundra Rouse joined project teams in accepting National Recognition Awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies at the annual ACEE Engineering Excellence Awards Gala on June 13 in Washington, D.C. 

Three Illinois Tollway projects were recognized by ACEC for exceptional engineering excellence:

• Tri-State Tollway (I-294)/I-57 Interchange Project, Phase Two – submitted by T.Y. Lin International and Wight & Co
• I-294 Mile Long Bridge Gantry System – submitted by Collins Engineers

All three projects received Honor Awards from ACEC Illinois, allowing them to advance to the national awards.
