This report summarizes our findings with respect to the maintenance and operation of the Illinois Tollway system during the 2013 calendar year. The Report provides an overview of the physical condition of the system, significant accomplishments of the Illinois Tollway’s Capital Programs during 2013, anticipated major undertakings planned for Year 10 (2014) of the Congestion- Relief Program, anticipated major undertakings planned for Year 3 (2014) of the Move Illinois Program and general insurance and Renewal and Replacement deposit information. Capital Program projects for 2013 and the Illinois Tollway’s continuing preventive maintenance program have contributed to the preservation of the system, as required by the Amended and Restated Trust Indenture effective March 31, 1999. Most notable was the completion of the reconstruction and widening of the eastbound Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) from west of the Kishwaukee River to west of Elgin Plaza 9; rehabilitation and widening of the Elgin-O’Hare corridor from Roselle Road to Meacham Road; Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) & Illinois Route 47 Interchange reconstruction; systemwide intermittent pavement and bridge repairs as required; systemwide pavement marking as required; the ramp improvement program; systemwide bridge and structural wall repairs as required; and systemwide Intelligent Transportation Systems expansion. The Capital Programs will continue to address the pavement, bridges, overhead sign structures, and structural walls recommended for major rehabilitation, reconstruction or repair in the next six years. We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by the Illinois Tollway staff during the course of our annual services. Sincerely, AECOM Jeffrey P.
