INDIANA—The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces that it has entered into a Construction Manager General Contractor (CMGC) agreement with Superior Construction Co., Inc. to provide preconstruction services for the 80/94 FlexRoad project. This is INDOT’s second CMGC project.
The 80/94 FlexRoad project in Lake County, IN, and Cook County, IL (T-42591; Des. No. 1901643) includes implementing Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) strategies to maximize the safety and efficiency of the existing I-80/I-94 corridor. Also known as the Borman Expressway, the 14-mile segment spans from Indiana’s I-65 and I-80/94 interchange to Illinois’s I-80/94 and IL-394 interchange.
The project will implement integrated Active Traffic Management (ATM) and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solutions throughout the project corridor, including improved digital message signs (DMS), variable speed limits, dynamic lane control, dynamic shoulder lanes, queue warning, and ramp metering.
Other work includes fiber optic improvements throughout the corridor, modifying the I-65 and Broadway interchanges with I-80/I-94, concrete pavement restoration, installation of gantry structures over I-80/I-94, and drainage improvements. The project website, IndianaFlexRoad.com, has more information about the project and TSMO strategies.
The CMGC delivery method includes two project phases: the preconstruction phase and the construction phase. The INDOT Alternative Delivery webpage has more information about CMGC and other alternative delivery methods.
The CMGC preconstruction phase is expected to begin in April 2025, with construction scheduled to start in late summer or early fall 2025. The design, led by Parsons Corp., is anticipated to be completed in 2026. The Selection Approval Document and additional proposals can be found on the INDOT Request for Proposals webpage
