Event Overview:
Come join ASCE YMG & AAAEA for our February dinner meeting! Kevin Bischel will be discussing High Speed Rail Project- Chicago to St.Louis project and its many facets as well as its challenges. Kevin is Deputy Program Manager at Parsons Brinkerhoff and has worked on the project the past four years.
The Illinois Department of Transportation's (IDOT) Chicago - St. Louis high speed rail (HSR) program has been under construction between Joliet, Illinois, and the East St. Louis area since late 2010. The corridor represents the nation's most advanced joint high speed (110 mph) passenger/freight corridor. Program benefits include the operation of existing Amtrak trains at speeds of up to 110 mph over much of the corridor, supporting an improvement in travel time by about one hour. The project just wrapped up construction for the 2013 season. It is planned that by the end of 2015, infrastructure improvements will be in place to support speeds of up to 110 mph on a significant portion of the corridor between Joliet and Carlinville, IL. Infrastructure improvements to support the remaining 110 mph service, and other upgrades, are expected to be in place by the end of 2017. Daily revenue operation of higher speed Amtrak passenger service between Dwight and Pontiac began on November 22, 2012 and continues today.
