Transportation
Transportation engineering is the art and science of safe, efficient movement of people and goods!
Wight & Company is well versed in all aspects of transportation infrastructure and site development. Our accomplished team of professional engineers combines technical expertise, innovative design, and sustainable values to deliver efficient, functional solutions that improve transportation systems while enhancing the natural environment. Wight & Company’s integrated solutions approach allows us to access the expertise and creativity of our entire multi-disciplined staff and consultants to tackle a broad spectrum of transportation engineering projects - local, county and state roadway systems, highway interchanges, tollways and toll facilities, stormwater/drainage management and transit systems.
Wight & Company engineers have planned, inspected and designed large complex highways, streets, bridges and other regional transportation projects. Accredited by the Illinois Department of Transportation in all major specialties, Wight is proud of our recent success on the new I-55/I-355 interchange for the south extension of the I-355 Tollway. Other completed projects range from municipal streets and statewide bicycle paths to both freight and commuter rail improvements, to new highways and the winning design for a new Chicago River bridge.
Our successes derive from our strong technical engineering, combined with thoughtful planning, effective design and sustainable strategies. Much more than just high profile projects, these engineering solutions have improved safety, streamlined traffic flow and made the communities they serve more livable.
