  26. CASE STUDY: Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad, Irving Park Road, and Bensenville Ditch “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”

  27. Property acquisition challenges • More than 500 properties outside the City Corporate Limits. • State Legislation gave City Quick Take Authority • Legal challenges delayed final acquisition of properties and demolition work. • OMP could not proceed with the relocation projects while litigation was still pending. SOUTHWEST AIRFIELD AREA

  28. Interim Solution to the Property acquisition delay • Relocate a section of the UPRR to a temporary configuration. • Requirements for the Interim Alignment. • Meet UPRR design standards • Allow Commissioning of the Runway 10L Extension • Support the construction to relocate the United Cargo and FedEx Cargo facilities. • Relocate Bensenville Ditch to an Interim Alignment

  29. Interim Solution to the Property acquisition delay (continued) • Construct a temporary road for access to St, Johannes Cemetery, Resthaven Cemetery, and the new FedEx facility. • These Interim Alignments reduced the litigation delays on the OMP by approximately 2 years

  34. Demolition challenges • The OMP and the Village of Bensenville (VOB) settled litigation challenges in late 2009. • Settlement agreement required the OMP to; • Prepare a comprehensive demolition plan including requirements for environmental protection • Salvage infrastructure equipment for VOB • Evaluate impacts of property demolition on VOB infrastructure • Coordinate and communicate closely with VOB officials

  35. Demolition solutions • OMP and VOB finalized and executed a demolition plan. • Split the demolition work into 8 packages. Used prequalified demolition contractors. • Village used a web site to keep interested citizens updated. • Prior to demolition work, City allowed more than 40 agencies to use the area for emergency response training.

  39. Railroad challenges • The permanent rail alignment required property transactions with the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), Canadian Pacific Railroad (CPRR) and Metra. • The OMP could not adversely impact rail operations during construction. • The crossing of the UPRR over CPRR tracks was governed by a 1912 agreement. • Our Design had to comply with railroad design requirements. Complex Property Swaps and Purchases

  40. Railroad solutions • OMP contracted with an attorney familiar with railroad operations and land transfers and made him an integral part of the project team. • The OMP project team worked with UPRR legal, operations, and engineering staff to develop a project agreement. • This agreement addressed UPRR design standards, access to UPRR property by OMP contractors, land transactions, and miscellaneous payments to UPRR. • The project team also finalized agreements with CPRR and Metra that included property purchases and access to railroad property.

  41. Railroad design challenges • New design must comply with all railroad design requirements. E.g. Track vertical gradient could not exceed 0.45%. • Four new bridges to replace existing bridges. One bridge replacement required a temporary shoo-fly bridge. • New bridge over Irving Park Road – no center point pier. 137’ - 3” through plate girder. 13’ – 2” tall girders. • Two span bridge on a skew angle of 50 degrees over 5 tracks of CPRR. Track alignment across bridge was within a curve and a spiral. • Another bridge crossed over a municipal street with adjacent commercial buildings extremely close to the bridge. • Runway Safety area, Glide Slope Critical Area, and protected runway approach surfaces constrained railroad design. (Pinch Point Area)

  42. Railroad design solutions • Project team worked closely with UPRR officials who had to approve final design of the Railroad and Bridges’ • Special fabrication and handling requirements for the 13’ – 2” high girders. • Split the overall project into four construction packages. • City and contractor worked with abutting property owners to minimize impacts of construction on commercial businesses. • Design team solved pinch point problem with retaining walls and box culverts.

  47. IDOT Challenges • Design realigned Irving Park Road (IPR) and Bensenville Ditch (BVD). • Coordinate road design with Elgin O’Hare Western Bypass (EOWB) concept. • Widen railroad bridge at Green Street per IDOT agreement. • DesignUPRR and IPR grade separation with anticipation IDOT will grade separate Canadian Pacific RR at a later date. • Complete property transfer exchanging rights-of-way.

  48. IDOT solutions • Numerous meetings with IDOT throughout the design. • Executed Memorandum of Agreement for bridge widening. • Made minor design changes in anticipation of future EOWB interchanges. • Designed UPRR crossing over IPR so IDOT can build the CPRR bridge crossing at a later date.

  49. Proposed Bridge elevations Original OMP Design Revised Design based in IDOT Request Railroad Bridge over Green Avenue

  50. Future Western Access • $2B Program to expand access on West side of O’Hare • Connections at: • Irving Park Rd • Franklin Ave • Overpasses at: • Irving Park Rd • Franklin Ave/UPRR • Underpass at • Bensenville Yard • Relocated UPRR Future Western Bypass Alignment Bensenville Ditch Irving Park Road Railroad
