Transportation Engineering

Improving transportation systems with an eye on the environment

Wight 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 caring for the natural environment. Wight’s integrated delivery approach utilizes the expertise and creativity of our entire multi-disciplined staff 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 engineers have planned, inspected, and designed large complex highways, streets, bridges, and other regional transportation projects. Completed projects include municipal streets, statewide bicycle paths, freight and commuter rail improvements, new highways, and the winning design for a new Chicago River bridge.

Our successes derive from strong technical engineering combined with thoughtful planning, effective design, and sustainable strategies. Our engineering solutions have improved safety, streamlined traffic flow, and made the communities they serve more livable.
