This project reconstructed and widened 4.8 miles of Algonquin Rd. from just west of Randall Rd. to IL 47. The existing roadway was a two-lane road with left turn lanes at only a few of the major intersections. It was widened to include two travel lanes in each direction and new turn lanes at all the intersections. Four traffic signals were replaced and one was added. Included in this project was the reconstruction of the bridge over Woods Creek. The existing cast-in-place box culvert was replaced with a 60 ft. simple span bridge on two abutments supported by steel shell piles. Since Woods Creek is a USACOE Class II Waterway that flows into the Lake in the Hills, great care had to be taken to comply with the Army Corps. permit to realign, widen and install new rip rap in the creek channel.

The Village of Lincolnshire was faced with the need of reconstructing a quickly-deteriorating, one-mile stretch of roadway that was built in approximately 1962. The roadway was originally part of the Lincolnshire Airport and this road served for the hangars that were adjacent to the runways. Over time the area has evolved into a very prolific industrial park located only 2.5 miles west of the Tri-state. Understandably over the years this park has attracted many distribution and manufacturing businesses resulting in a large amount of heavy duty truck traffic. Needless to say, even with ongoing maintenance this 47-year old concrete roadway had deteriorated beyond its lifespan and had graduated to receiving traffic conditions which far exceeded that which was originally anticipated when it was initially built.

Bollinger, Lach & Associates, Inc. provided civil engineering, surveying and environmental services for the N.C.C. golf course renovation project. An innovative concept was created by BLA of not a single permit, but a multiple permitting scenarios which allowed "teaming" with agencies and generated significant site and regional benefit enhancements not possible with a single, chronological permit process. Ultimately, the project required more than 33 separate permits from 11 state, local and federal review agencies. This permit process allowed for an unprecedented, accelerated design, approval and staged construction schedule which saved more than 15 months, compared to the normal development process. This was critical to NCC in order to close the course for only one season. Additionally, this permit process allowed for additional enhancements well beyond requirements for wetland mitigations, detention, water quality, flooding reductions, and best management practices; all which benefit the public.

On this project, about one mile of 95th Street was completely reconstructed from the existing two-lane roadway with stone shoulders. The reconstruction provided additional through and turn lanes, an underground drainage system, a solid composite pavement cross section for truck traffic, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and new traffic signals at two intersections. This improvement project was conceived to accommodate additional traffic, increase motorist safety, and, with the construction of a new sidewalk, increase pedestrian safety as well.
