Hillside Road Bridge
over the DuPage River
Client: City of Naperville
Location: Naperville, Illinois
Construction Completed: 2001
Construction Cost: $850,000
Challenge
The historic Naperville Riverwalk is a significant piece of history
of the area. The Hillside Road Bridge spans the West Branch of
the DuPage River near downtown Naperville. The City of Naperville
contracted Bowman, Barrett & Associates Inc. (BB&A) to
provide complete preliminary engineering services for the rehabilitation
of the existing three-span, precast, prestressed concrete deck
beam structure. Final design approval was given to use a special
cast-in-place, post-tensioned, continuous concrete slab for the
superstructure replacement and widening.
The goal was to design an architecturally pleasing structure that
fits into the surrounding residential and riverwalk environment.
