Transportation Engineering

TERRA has experience with transportation engineering projects of all sizes, ranging from small local projects to larger projects of regional importance. Highlights include work for federal, state, county and local governments in both rural and complex urban environments. Our experienced staff has completed a variety of transportation projects, including:

Traffic data collection and traffic studies
Roadway planning and design
Bridge design and pavement design
Feasibility studies
Roadway drainage
Urban and rural interstate/freeway design
Simple and complex interchange planning and design
Roadside safety and barrier warrant analysis
Preparation of grant applications
Construction staging and traffic maintenance planning
Cost estimates and value engineering

Attention to cost, historical significance, citizen input and aesthetics have been important factors in reducing environmental objections and obtaining public acceptance and approval. TERRA uses the nationally recognized Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) process that also is used by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
