Street Projects

Village of Dieterich - Street Enhancements

The Village of Dieterich recently replaced deteriorated non-ADA sidewalks along Main Street and Virginia Street which had become a  hazard to pedestrian traffic. The new decorative ADA-compliant sidewalks feature a red stamped concrete treatment, curbs and gutters, and decorative lighting. Not only did the sidewalk replacement reduce the hazards to pedestrian traffic, it enhanced the beauty of the downtown business district.

The Village utilized Illinois Department of Transportation ITEP Grant funds, and Village funds to complete the project. Milano & Grunloh Engineers, LLC provided Design Engineering, Grant Assistance, and Construction Inspection for the project. Thank you to the Village of Dieterich for allowing us to be a part of your project.

City of Altamont - Street & Sidewalk Improvements

The City of Altamont recently completed improvements to Second Street from Washington Avenue to Madison Avenue. This project included the installation of ADA compliant ramps, sidewalks, curb and gutter and reshaping of the existing roadway.  The City received a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation to help fund the project.  Milano & Grunloh Engineers, LLC completed all of the engineering for the project.

The City also completed their Safe Routes to School project which improved the sidewalks along Edwards Street from Route 40 to Division Street and then along Division Street from Edwards Street to Ewing Street.  This work included the construction of new ADA compliant street crossings, removing existing trip hazards and replacing damaged and/or broken sidewalk panels.  The Safe Routes to School Grant also included the construction of new sidewalks along Division Street from Ewing Street to Whitler Lane and within the adjacent subdivision to the allow children in the neighborhood to utilize the new sidewalks instead of the existing roadway as they navigate to and from school.  Milano & Grunloh Engineers, LLC completed all of the engineering for the project and worked closely with the City as they completed this project with their own staff.  Thank you to the City of Altamont for allowing us to work with you on this project.

Village of Newton - Sidewalk Beautification

The City of Newton secured an approximately $1 million ITEP Grant through the Illinois Department of Transportation.  The City leveraged this grant with $333,000 in City Funds to construct handicap ramps, detectable warnings, replacement of sidewalks which have excessive cross and longitudinal slope, removal of “double curbs” adjacent to existing sidewalks and other pedestrian friendly amenities.   In addition, lighting was constructed throughout the  project which will aid pedestrian’s visibility at night.  The project was constructed around the Square and along the west side of Van Buren Street to Water Street. 

Milano & Grunloh Engineers, LLC helped the City of Newton secure the ITEP Funding and completed all engineering for the project.  Since the project is located along busy State Highways, it is   almost certain to “catch the eye” of some travelers and encourage them to stop and explore the City of Newton and thereby provide economic benefits to the area by increasing local tourism. 

City of Effingham - Pike Avenue & Bourgeois Drive

The Pike Avenue & Bourgeois Drive project is located on the South end of Effingham, Illinois in the Industrial Park. The project consists of an existing street reconstruction with approximately 1,200 lineal feet of asphalt pavement and approximately 3,500 lineal feet of Portland Cement Concrete pavement.  This project also included approximately 2,400 lineal feet of storm sewer to aid in drainage of the area. This project will connect the new Beck’s Superior Hybrids facility located on Bourgeois Drive to Raney Street, which is a main corridor through the Industrial Park. The street reconstruction will provide Beck’s, and any future development a dedicated truck route for ease of entering and exiting the facility.
 
Milano & Grunloh Engineers, LLC, along with the City of Effingham, assisted with obtaining funds, furnished the environmental report, right-of-way, design engineering and construction engineering for the project.

City of Effingham - North Raney Street Improvements

This project located within the City of Effingham consists of three phases. The project is approximately 2,600 feet and will consist of asphalt and concrete pavement along with curb and gutter, storm sewer, and sidewalk. The first phase is near completion.
