Oates Associates wins ACEC Illinois Award
Oates Associates, a civil and structural engineering / architectural design firm, has received a Merit Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Illinois for the design of Governors' Parkway in Madison County, Illinois. The ACEC competition recognized more than 50 Illinois-based engineering firms for outstanding projects at a recent luncheon attended by 250 engineers, clients and government officials.
In response to continued residential and commercial growth in the Edwardsville area, the Madison County Highway Department decided to design and construct a new east-west route from I-55 to the entrance to Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville along a route acquired by IDOT more than 35 years ago. Madison County hired Oates Associates to design the third phase of Governors' Parkway, a three-mile section consisting of three-lane pavement with a center two-way left turn lane, a bridge, several large culverts and three signalized intersections. This new segment now connects a growing residential section of Edwardsville to I-55 on the east and the city's major retail section to the west.
Oates Associates is a multi-disciplined design firm with offices in Collinsville, Illinois, and St. Louis.
