The Elgin O’Hare Western Access Project aims to connect Chicagoland like never before. Driven by the need to reduce traffic and enhance access to O’Hare International Airport, the new Illinois Route 390 Tollway and I-490 Tollway will serve an estimated 120,000 vehicles a day, alleviating delays on local roads while dramatically cutting down travel times.

V3 is the Corridor Construction Manager for this $4 billion project, overseeing more than 100 separate construction contracts, coordinating activities with more than 14 local agencies, two Class I Railroads, the FAA and O’Hare Airport, and managing more than 20 separate construction management firms to inspect and document the improvements.

With more than 17 miles of new tollway, four interstate system interchanges, and 15 new and/or improved local interchanges, this ambitious project has been designated as a “Project of National and Regional Significance” by federal transportation legislation.
